Sonia Gandhi meets PM, top Congress leaders to discuss Mamata Banerjee's withdrawal of support

New Delhi:  The Congress-led UPA government is in a minority and its immediate task is to ensure survival. It has been forced to scrounge for numbers by ally Mamata Banerjee, who announced yesterday that she was exiting the UPA government in protest against a menu of new reforms introduced last week.
