West Bengal CM skipped cyclone relief review meeting with PM
Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of putting “arrogance above public welfare” after she skipped a review meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on cyclone relief.
The PM had on Friday visited Odisha and West Bengal and held review meetings in both the States on the post-cyclone situation.
“Mamata Didi’s conduct today is an unfortunate low. Cyclone Yaas has affected several common citizens and the need of the hour is to assist those affected. Sadly, Didi has put arrogance above public welfare and today’s petty behaviour reflects that,” Mr. Shah tweeted.
