Why Mamata Banerjee called up CPM leader MA Baby: Rivals unite over EC divide
Mamata Banerjee, leader of the Trinamool Congress, called CPI(M) general secretary M A Baby to discuss concerns over the Election Commission's electoral roll revisions. This marks a rare communication between the rival parties, both part of the INDIA bloc, as they seek to unite against perceived threats to democracy. A meeting of the INDIA bloc is urged for early next week.
