Kolkata: Describing her scheduled meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday in New Delhi as a “courtesy” one, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday said she would highlight various issues like funds that are due to the state during her talk with the PM. Talking to reporters at city airport before leaving for the national capital, Banerjee said she would also raise matters like changing name of West Bengal as well merger of public sector banks during the meeting.
Amid hype surrounding the one-on-one meeting between the two leaders, not on good terms since recent general election, Banerjee said her visit to the national capital was part of the “routine work”.
According to sources in the state secretariate Nabanna, the CM and PM meeting is scheduled at 4:30 pm on Wednesday.
“I go to New Delhi very rarely. I do not go anywhere because I am having some responsibilities here. We have to go to New Delhi for some administrative reasons because it is the capital, the Parliament is there, the President, Prime Minister all stay there that’s is at times we need to go there. This is a routine work,” the TMC supremo said.
“This time I am going to talk about funds that are due to West Bengal. I will also highlight issues like change of West Bengal’s name.
“Will also talk about matters like merger of public sector banks, issues with Air India, BSNL, Railways where there are several problems. They (employees of these organisations) cannot go anywhere and come to us,” Banerjee said before leaving for New Delhi. (PTI)
