Yaas aid, GST, rising fuel price and DGP appointment: What Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee may discuss with PM Modi

Mamata will meet Modi at his 7, Lok Kalyan Marg residence at 4.15 p.m. This will be the first meeting between PM Modi and the Bengal Chief Minister after she had skipped a post-Cyclinder Yaas review meeting chaired by Modi in May this year.

New Delhi: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who is on a five-day visit to Delhi, will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday (July 27) evening. According to reports, Mamata is expected to meet Congress interim chief Sonia Gandhi a day later, on Wednesday. On Thursday, she expected to get an audience with President Ram Nath Kovind.   Mamata will meet Modi at his 7, Lok Kalyan Marg residence at 4.15 p.m. This will be the first meeting between PM Modi and the Bengal Chief Minister after she had skipped a post-Cyclinder Yaas review meeting chaired by Modi in May this year. Mamata met the PM separately for a moment and handed over the state government's report on the cyclone before excusing herself from the official meeting, resulting in a huge controversy. Sources close to the chief minister said, "There are several issues like the appointment of the DGP, the financial aid for Yaas and the regularisation of the supply of vaccines for the state which are going to take the centre-stage in the meeting. The chief minister is likely to raise the issue of GST and the spiralling price of diesel and petrol. She might press for more vaccines for the state."
