West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee expressed anger over being excluded from talks between PM Narendra Modi and Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina on the Teesta water-sharing pact and the 1996 Ganga Water Treaty renewal. Banerjee, who opposes the Teesta water-sharing deal, is seeking support from her INDIA bloc allies and may write a formal complaint to PM Modi. She criticized the decision to manage Teesta water without consulting the West Bengal government, questioning federal unity. The Teesta pact has been pending since 2011 due to Banerjee's concerns about water shortages in North Bengal.
