West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is likely to meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi during her Delhi visit this evening, people familiar with the matter told NDTV. She will stay in the national capital for four days.
Though Ms Banerjee's visit is linked to a meeting of the government's think tank NITI Aayog on Sunday, she would be in the city during the vice presidential election scheduled on Saturday.
Her party, Trinamool Congress, will abstain from voting in the vice presidential election, for which the BJP has fielded Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar as the National Democratic Alliance candidate. The opposition's joint candidate is Margaret Alva.
Ms Banerjee's party says the opposition parties did not consult them before deciding on Ms Alva.
