New Delhi, 10/6: A 90-minute meeting between top Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Trinamool Congress’ Abhishek Banerjee on Wednesday, a day after Sonia Gandhi and Mamata Banerjee held talks, triggered speculation about merger of the two parties but were quickly smashed by both sides.Both the parties insisted that talks about a merger was “baseless” and the deliberations between the leaders, which were a “continuation of the I.N.D.I.A. bloc meeting on Monday”, were aimed at strengthening cooperation in the fight against BJP in West Bengal.
