Everyone Knows How Mamata Banerjee Handles Cong in WB: Union Minister Pralhad Joshi

Hyderabad: Union Minister Pralhad Joshi slammed West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday, saying the INDI bloc is not at all an alliance because she did not give a single seat in the eastern state. 

Joshi said the opposition parties are unable to digest the mandate of the people and are crying foul, replying to a query on Banerjee walking out of the NITI Aayog meeting today.

“What has happened in the NITI Aayog meeting? I have not seen it, I was travelling. I am just here. I will verify that. I can only say that this so-called INDI bloc because it is not at all an alliance. After all, Mamata did not give a single seat in (West Bengal).
