In a first since last year's state elections, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday held a "courtesy meeting" with Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari at her chamber in the state Assembly, raising eyebrows in political circles.
Later, during a discussion on 'Constitution Day' in the House, the Chief Minister said that she had at one point adored him like a brother.
Mr Adhikari and Ms Banerjee had been at loggerheads since the end of 2020 when he switched over to the BJP from the Trinamool Congress and defeated the TMC supremo in Nandigram in the Assembly polls.
The meeting came close on the heels of Mr Adhikari complaining that his name was not included in the invitation letter for the 'Constitution Day' programme in the Assembly.
