Mamata fixes sudden appointment with Narendra Modi, to meet him today
According to media reports, Banerjee's sudden appointment with the PM has been fixed at a very short notice. It will take place at 3 30 pm.
Banerjee's initial schedule was to meet opposition leaders, including Congress chairperson Sonia Gandhi.
The Trinamool Congress supremo, who often fires salvo at Modi over various issues, particularly the BJP's political ambition in West Bengal and the CBI actions in the Saradha and Rose Valley scam cases, told reporters before leaving for Delhi on Wednesday that she would meet the PM over the problem of Ganga erosion and the problems about money due to the state.
In reply to a question on the upcoming Presidential poll, she said, "We want a consensus candidate.".
Banerjee was in Delhi last week for a meeting with Sonia Gandhi, who has taken the lead to bring together the opposition and find a candidate to be pitted against the NDA nominee.
President Pranab Mukherjee's term comes to an end in July. The opposition likes to see him for a second term though the BJP stand on him is not yet known.
