Senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday said all Opposition parties should unite against the BJP to relieve people of its “oppression” and asserted that the party had approached BSP chief Mayawati to lead the coalition in U.P., but never heard back.
Mr. Kharge seconded Rahul Gandhi’s statement made a day before according to which he had approached Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati for a coalition and even made her an offer to be the chief ministerial candidate, but she never responded.
