West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Bennerjee has invited her AP counterpart N Chandrababu Naidu to come and address the mammoth anti-BJP rally to be held in Kolkata on January 19, 2019.

Mamata wrote a letter to AP CM saying that this rally would be a historic moment for all anti-BJP parties to come together and show their united strength for the cause of protecting democratic institutions in the country.

She told Chandrababu that the opposition unity would be a great requirement now as the country’s federal structure, democratic and constitutional institutions were all under threat from the existing dispensation at the Centre.

Stating that the rally would begin at the famous Brigade Parade in Kolkata, Mamata said that all efforts are being made to turn the rally into an ultimate show of strength by anti-BJP parties.

In the wake of recent IT raids in AP, Chandrababu has launched a scathing attack on BJP and spoke of working closely with other parties at the national level like Trinamool Congress and Samajwadi Party.

As 2019 elections are approaching, the rival parties are preparing for a major showdown and a do-or-die battle with BJP.
