Kolkata: West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee reached New Delhi on Sunday evening on a four-day visit. The Trinamool Congress chief is scheduled to attend INDIA bloc meeting on December 19 and meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi on December 20.
Before leaving Kolkata, Banerjee said she will meet the PM to seek release of central funds due to West Bengal. “They (the Centre) have stopped our funds and are not willing to release our dues. Bengal is the only state whose funds have been withheld,” the chief minister said.
She also slammed BJP for its campaign to malign the state over Parliament security breach. Banerjee said: “It was a grave security lapse. This is a very serious matter. Let them (Centre) investigate the matter. We don’t compromise our security… Our leaders raised their voices against this, but they were suspended. Derek O’Brien and other Opposition MPs were suspended from Parliament for raising this issue.”
