West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is likely to visit New Delhi later this month where she will hold talks with leaders of non-BJP parties, TMC sources said on Thursday, amid the renewed buzz over formation of an anti-BJP front ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.

According to some reports, she will head to the national capital on July 25. Sources in the TMC said her Delhi visit could happen any day after the Martyr's Day rally in Kolkata on July 21.

The TMC holds a rally every year to commemorate the killing of 13 people in police firing on Youth Congress workers on July 21, 1993, during a protest led by Banerjee, who was then its leader.

The talk of an anti-BJP front got revived after leaders of various parties and prominent individuals congregated at NCP chief Sharad Pawar's New Delhi residence last month.

Banerjee, who is likely to spend a few days in Delhi, has apparently timed her visit to coincide with the monsoon session of Parliament as senior leaders of opposition parties will be in town.
