West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee joined the Left Parties, the Janata Dal (Secular) and the Janata Dal (United) in extending support to the Aam Aadmi Party, hours before campaigning for the Delhi Assembly elections ended on Thursday.
“… My request for all of you in Delhi to please vote for the AAP,” tweeted Ms. Banerjee, “for the greater need of the country and development in Delhi.”
Ms. Banerjee’s appeal came barely 24 hours after the Left parties and former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda asked their activists and supporters to back the AAP wherever its candidates were not in the fray. ”
