West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee is likely to visit New Delhi next week to participate in a “very important political meeting”, a top source said on Thursday.
Banerjee’s visit to New Delhi will be after her 48-hour dharna in the city from Friday to press upon the Centre to clear the state’s dues, he added.
The “important political meeting” in New Delhi is scheduled on Wednesday, he said.
“The CM is likely to go to New Delhi on Tuesday afternoon after attending the state budget session. She is likely to take part in a very important political meeting there the next day,” the source said.
The Chief Minister’s visit to New Delhi has raised eyebrows in the political corridors. Political analysts have considered this as an opportunity to take a jibe at the TMC.
At a time when central investigative agencies are conducting raids to bust the scams of respective state governments, CM Banerjee’s government, too, is allegedly mired in scams. Hence, the meeting can be in respect of keeping the TMC leaders away from the long arm of the law.
