Mamata, Omar look forward to working together

Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah today expressed satisfaction over his meeting with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on the issue of a probable federal front.

The National Conference vice-president, who called on Banerjee at the state secretariat here yesterday, said he was looking forward to working closely with her and other like-minded leaders in the next Lok Sabha elections.

"It was a pleasure meeting @MamataOfficial in #Kolkata yesterday evening. I look forward to working closely with her & other like minded leaders as we gear up for the fight in 2019," he wrote on Twitter. Banerjee replied back to Abdullah saying, "Thank you Omar. It is always a pleasure meeting you. Yes, we will work closely together."
Echoing Banerjee, Abdullah had said it was too early to choose the Opposition's prime ministerial name. "Our main focus should be to come together and put up a good fight against the BJP and then, we can decide on that."
