Mamata Banerjee

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who interacted with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Raj Bhavan on Friday evening, called it a courtesy meeting as per protocol.

In a sharp attack on the Trinamool Congress over the Sandeshkhali issue, Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the party of shielding its leader Sheikh Shahjahan, who was arrested on charges of sexual assault and land grab.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is likely to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Raj Bhavan in Kolkata this evening, an official said.

West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee on Thursday claimed that if the BJP returns to power at the Centre, the government would hike the price of cooking gas cylinder to Rs 2,000.

A day after Sandeshkhali strongman Sheikh Shahjahan was arrested in connection with the mob attack on an Enforcement Directorate (ED) team, Trinamool Congress suspended him from the party for six years.

After being on the run for 55 days, Trinamool Congress leader Sheikh Shahjahan was today arrested on charges of torture, sexual harassment, and land grabbing.

Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said her government will build 11 lakh houses for the state's poor if the Centre does not clear the "dues" of the PM Awas Yojana by April 1.

Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose on Tuesday upped the pressure on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, declaring he will "shift base" to Sandeshkhali if Sheikh Shahjahan - the main accused in sexual assault allegations - is not arrested in 72 hours.

The Trinamool Congress will hold a massive rally at the Brigade Parade Ground in Kolkata on March 10.

The Congress' renewed attempt at sealing a seat-share deal with the Trinamool for the general election may not end well, with sources telling NDTV Friday morning Bengal's ruling party is unlikely to budge from its initial offer.

A BJP delegation, including prominent leaders like MP Locket Chatterjee and Agnimitra Paul, was forcefully stopped by the West Bengal Police from proceeding towards the troubled region of Sandeshkhali today.

The Congress, on a roll after sealing seat sharing deals with Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party and Akhilesh Yadav's Samajwadi Party, is aiming for a hat-trick, with a new formula for Mamata Banerjee.

Bengali, whose origin can be traced back to the 6th century, is the second most spoken language in India. Not only is it a source of pride for millions today, but it also occupies an important place in India's 18th-century Renaissance movement.

The Mamata Banerjee-led government has surpassed the erstwhile CPM dispensation in subjecting the people of West Bengal to atrocities, the BJP claimed on Wednesday.

Even as the politics surrounding the issue continues to heat up, the National Human Rights Commission has taken note of the allegations of rape levelled against a Trinamool Congress strongman and his aides by women in West Bengal's Sandeshkhali.
