Mamata Banerjee meets PM Modi

Kolkata, Mar 1: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Raj Bhavan here on Friday evening. At the end of the brief interaction, she described it as a "protocol" session between the Prime Minister and a Chief Minister.

The Prime Minister, who is on a two-day visit to West Bengal, reached the Raj Bhavan late on Friday afternoon after addressing a public rally at Arambagh in Hooghly district, where he launched a scathing attack against the state government and the ruling Trinamool Congress on issues such as Sandeshkhali and cases of financial corruption.

After her brief interaction with the Prime Minister, Banerjee told the waiting mediapersons outside the Raj Bhavan that it was nothing but a “protocol” meeting.
