Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is set to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi tomorrow, addressing the ongoing tussle over withheld central funds. Accusing the Centre of stopping funds for various programs, including Banglar Bari housing scheme, Banerjee highlighted concerns about the rural roads and health department funds being halted. She criticized the saffron painting directive, asserting the state's white and blue brand. The Trinamool Congress had previously protested the pending dues issue, with National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee likely to accompany Mamata Banerjee. The meeting follows heightened tensions over financial allocations between the state and the Centre.
