West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee meets Sharad Pawar, Uddhav Thackeray during Mumbai visit

West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC head Mamata Banerjee on July 12 met Nationalist Congress Party (SP) president Sharad Pawar and Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray during her first visit to Mumbai after the declaration of Lok Sabha poll results more than a month ago.

Ms. Banerjee claimed the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre was unstable, and may not complete its term. “This government may not continue also. This is not a stable government,” she said at a press conference with Mr. Thackeray. “Khela has begun, it will go on,” she said when asked to elaborate.

On the Union government’s move to observe June 25, when the Emergency was imposed in 1975, as ‘Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas’, Ms. Banerjee said times associated with the Emergency were being seen most during the tenure of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
