West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is scheduled to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on December 20 to seek the release of pending dues to the state, a top official said on December 12.
The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) has agreed to Ms Banerjee’s request for an appointment with PM Modi, he said.
“The meeting will take place around 11 am on December 20,” the official told Press Trust of India.
Mamata Banerjee had earlier this week claimed that the Centre owed ₹ 1.15 lakh crore to West Bengal on various accounts, including 100 days of work under MGNREGA.
