New Delhi: Several Opposition parties, attending the meeting convened by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in New Delhi on Wednesday on the Presidential polls, were angry after a last-minute resolution was introduced at the meeting against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

According to reports, there was “chaos” after Banerjee introduced the resolution without notice.

Banerjee told reporters later that the Opposition need to discuss “the bulldozing taking place in the country”.

Earlier, Opposition leaders adopted a resolution to field a common candidate in the Presidential election after NCP chief Sharad Pawar refused Banerjee’s offer to be the Opposition Presidential candidate.

At least 17 parties, including Congress, Samajwadi Party, NCP, DMK, RJD and the Left parties, attended the meeting at the Constitution Club of India in New Delhi.

The AAP, TRS, SAD and Odisha’s ruling BJD stayed away from the meeting.

With the NCP chief declining the offer, Gopal Krishna Gandhi, Mahatma Gandhi’s grandson, and Farooq Abdullah’s names were suggested.
