PM Modi addresses mega rally in Madhya Pradesh

With just a day to go for the mega rally at the Brigade Parade Grounds, Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee on Thursday said BJP will not get more than 125 seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

“The end of BJP has already begun. Congress, I do not know, but BJP will not get more than 125 seats,” Banerjee said while taking stock of the preparations at the Brigade Parade Grounds which will host the January 19 rally.

Upping its ante against the ruling BJP at the Centre, Banerjee is convening a Mahagathbandhan rally to bring most regional parties together ahead of the next general elections. &nbsp;“This is a Mahagathbandhan of people and the parties are together,” she said.

While UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Congress President Rahul Gandhi will skip the rally, Congress will be represented by senior leader Mallikarjun Kharge. BSP supremo Mayawati will also stay away from the Brigade rally, but has decided to send her party leader Satish Mishra.

A major shot in the arm for the Trinamool Congress and other opposition parties as a part of the Mahagathbandhan is rebel BJP leader Shatrughan Sinha will also be joining the rally. This apart, two other former union ministers who had served in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s cabinet -- Arun Shorie and Yashwant Sinha -- have also confirmed their presence.

Political analysts feel that this will be a major setback for the BJP as three former union ministers have come together with other opposition parties to combat the ruling party at the Centre.

Banerjee is likely to hold a meeting with the twenty opposition leaders after the rally on January 19. "Since they are our state guests, we will be holding a meeting later at 4 pm," Banerjee said.&nbsp;

The twenty leaders who will be attending the rally are HD Deve Gowda, HD Kumaraswamy, Arvind Kejriwal, Akhilesh Yadav, Tejaswi Yadav, Sharad Pawar, Badrudding Ajmal, MK Stalin, Arun Shorie, Chandrababu Naidu, Ajit Singh, Jayant Choudhary, Farooq Abdullah, Omar Abdullah, Shatrughan Sinha, Babulal Marandi, Mallikarjun Kharge, Jignesh Mevani, Hardik Patel and Yashwant Sinha.
