New Delhi: Mamata Banerjee has given "entirely false statements" and she "boycotted" a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi after agreeing to attend it, the centre said on Tuesday in its second rebuttal in its increasingly bitter back-and-forth with the Bengal Chief Minister.
In a nine-point rejoinder, government sources tore into Mamata Banerjee's account of what went down on Friday, when she briefly met with PM Modi at Kalaikunda air base during his visit to Bengal and left without attending his Cyclone Yaas review meeting.The Chief Minister has said she had another scheduled meeting and that she had asked the PM's permission before leaving. PM Modi never gave permission to Mamata Banerjee to leave the review meeting as she claims, government sources said on Tuesday.To her claim about being informed belatedly about the Prime Minister's schedule, the sources commented that a meeting to assess cyclone damage could hardly be finalised "before the cyclone comes".
