Lucknow: The ruling Samajwadi Party of Uttar Pradesh and All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) of West Bengal have decided to go together on a consensus candidate during the coming crucial Presidential elections.

AITC president and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who has already been creating roadblocks in several projects of the Centre, could join hands with Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav to give the Congress another round of political problems.

Mr Yadav’s emissary, former West Bengal Fisheries Minister and now Rajya Sabha member from UP Kironmoy Nanda held a meeting with Ms Banerjee in Kolkata on Monday last. In the 45-minute meeting, both the parties decided to go together in the presidential election. “Mamata Banerjee has assured us that the AITC will support the candidate which Mulayam Singh Yadav decides on. She has decided to go with SP,” Mr Nanda informed on telephone from Kolkata.(PTI)
