Ahead of Banerjee's meeting with PM Modi, Bharatiya Janata Party MP Dilip Ghosh criticized the West Bengal CM, noting that during the PM's last visit to the state, she did not engage in conversation with him and questioned her motives for this meeting.


Commenting on Mamata Banerjee efforts on multiple fronts to salvage her party's standing Ghosh said, she failed to align with the INDIA bloc and didn't find common ground with the Congress. Now, she's attempting to seek assistance from PM as Shahjahan Sheikh comes under scrutiny from the Enforcement Directorate intensifies, and her party faces internal disarray.


"Mamata Banerjee is in trouble today, that is why she is running everywhere... She is not getting along with Congress, she is doing a lot to save the party and the leaders...



"Last time the Prime Minister came here, she did not talk about anything. What is the compulsion today? Leaders like Shahjahan Sheikh are slowly coming under the vigil of ED and the party is falling apart. That's why she must have gone to make a request to the Prime Minister...," said Dilip Ghosh
