Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will be in Delhi on July 25 as political activity, targeted at the 2024 national elections, spikes in the national capital, sources said. This is the first visit of Ms Banerjee after her landslide victory in the Bengal assembly elections in May. The victory, achieved in face of the might of the BJP election machinery, has triggered speculation over her playing a bigger role in the opposition front in the next general elections.

As per news report of NDTV, Sources said during the visit, which may extend to four days, Ms Banerjee will meet several opposition leaders including Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, Aam Aadmi Party chief and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and a few others. Political activity has spiked over the last month, starting with poll strategist Prashant Kishor's two meetings with Sharad Pawar. The NCP chief, though, said the meeting did not involve politics after Mr Kishor had a four-hour meeting with the Gandhis earlier this week, intensifying speculation about his joining the party.
