West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday said she will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi when she visits Delhi next week in the first one-on-one encounter after the bitterly-fought state elections that she won in May.
"I will go to Delhi for 2-3 days. I will meet the President if I get time. PM has given me time. I will meet him," she said, as she attacked the central government over a range of issues from the Pegasus snooping scandal to the tax raids on media houses at a news conference.
Seen by many as the makings of an effort to assume a wider role in national politics and to unite the country's disparate opposition against the BJP, Mamata Banerjee's trip to Delhi has generated a fair amount of buzz given her recent success against the ruling party.
