West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is likely to visit Punjab on February 21 amid farmers protests towards the Central authorities. The TMC chief is anticipated to supply prayers on the Golden Temple. According to the sources, she could meet her Delhi and Punjab counterparts – Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann – respectively.
“The chief minister is likely to visit Punjab on February 21. During her visit, she will offer prayers at the Golden Temple in Amritsar. There is a high possibility of her meeting, the Delhi Chief Minister and Punjab Chief Minister during this visit,” the senior official mentioned.
The timing of her assembly with the highest Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders is taken into account essential within the backdrop of the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections and the formation of an opposition coalition. AAP and TMC – each member of I.N.D.I.A bloc – grew bitter relation with Congress on seat-sharing within the final couple of days.
The doable visit of West Bengal chief minister to Punjab comes at a time when farmers are demanding minimal help worth for his or her crops.
Banerjee has already prolonged her help to the farmers and condemned the assault on protesting farmers after they have been attempting to march to New Delhi.
