At a grand meeting of opposition leaders in Kolkata on Saturday, MK Stalin restrained from repeating his endorsement of Rahul Gandhi, but the BJP targeted him for doing so. Why couldn't he say so in Kolkata? the BJP asked, claiming it exposed chinks in the proposed national alliance of the opposition parties.

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, a prominent face at Mamata Banerjee's huge political meet in Kolkata, credited the ruling BJP for the coming together of so many opposition parties. He said that idea of a united opposition was inspired by the BJP-led alliance government.

Telangana chief minister Chandrashekar Rao's week-long journey to push his idea of a non-Congress, non-BJP Federal Front has hit another roadblock: the two key leaders of Uttar Pradesh. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav is not available for now and Mayawati is yet to confirm her presence.

For Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, this is a vote of confidence - and possibly a thank...
