Mamata seeks audience with PM to press for Bengal's dues

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday said she has sought an audience with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to press the demands for the financial dues which the Centre owes to the state.

Banerjee told reporters at Bagdogra near Siliguri in north Bengal that she will be visiting the national capital and sought an appointment in any of the three days between December 18 and 20.

“I will go to Delhi accompanied by few MPs of the party this month and have sought an audience with the prime minister to press for the state’s dues which the Centre owes to us,” she said.
