Bengal MPs, Leaders "Dragged, Manhandled" By Delhi Police: Trinamool

Mamata Banerjee's party has alleged that its MPs and leaders were "manhandled and mercilessly dragged" away by cops on Day 2 of their Delhi protest over central funds. The Trinamool Congress, which was holding a dharna at the Union Rural Development Ministry, claimed that the Minister of State Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti refused to meet them saying she would not meet more than five representatives. "Today 02:30 hours was wasted. I left the office at 08:30 while waiting for the Trinamool MPs. According to my information, the delegation of Trinamool MPs and Bengal ministers had taken an appointment in the office at 06:00," the Minister tweeted.
