New Delhi: West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) president Mamata Banerjee is likely to visit Varanasi to extend support to Samajwadi Party in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh elections next year.
Laliteshpati Tripathi, a recent entrant in TMC, told PTI, "Didi has already said in Delhi that if Akhilesh Yadav needs our help, we are ready to extend help. The gesture of senior SP leader Jaya Bachchan seeking votes for the TMC during the West Bengal Assembly elections will be reciprocated in Uttar Pradesh.”
He said that TMC will drum up support for Yadav in UP. "The target is the same and we have to leave no stone unturned to ensure that these forces (led by the BJP) are defeated. We are also with SP chief Akhilesh ji in his fight," he added.
