Mamata Banerjee in Delhi to meet Kejriwal and Nitish Kumar and discuss Federal Front


Mamata Banerjee, chief minister of West Bengal, has gone to Delhi on a three-day visit. In the curse of her visit, she is expected to met several Union ministers apart from Nitish Kumar and Arvind Kejriwal, chief ministers of Bihar and Delhi. Also on her agenda are one-on-one meetings with finance minister Arun Jaitley, home minister Rajnath Singh and several other central ministers.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 26 July 2016.

Moreover, she also has plans to meet parliamentary leaders from the NCP, the DMK, the AIADMK, the Telugu Desam Party, the BSP, the SP, the National Conference and the BJD. A Trinamul Lok Sabha MP has also hinted that she could be meeting some Congress leaders also.
Incidentally, she skipped a dinner hosted by President Pranab Mukherjee at Rashtrapati Bhavan while Prime Minister attended the event. However, she congratulated him on completing four years in office today and said in a statement - "We are proud to have you as India's first citizen."
