Mamata Banerjee Lands In Delhi, Opposition Meetings On Agenda

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is likely to meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday.

Mamata Banerjee, in Delhi for the first time since her election victory in Bengal, is expected to meet with various opposition leaders over the next three days. The Bengal Chief Minister's meetings, which are yet to crystallize, are of great significance in the opposition's attempts to take on the BJP in the 2024 national election. She is likely to meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday. This will be their first meeting since their tense encounter in Bengal when the Chief Minister skipped the PM's cyclone review meeting in May. Sources say Congress president Sonia Gandhi has invited Mamata Banerjee to tea, but no date has been confirmed. She is likely to have one-on-one chats with various leaders, a Trinamool Congress leader said, dismissing reports that she was planning to host a tea for opposition leaders.
