"Callous, Arrogant" Mamata Banerjee Made PM Wait 30 Minutes: Government

Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today skipped a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to assess the aftermath of Cyclone Yaas, choosing instead a quick 15-minute interaction at the airbase where the PM's flight landed after an aerial survey. She was to attend a review with PM Modi and officials but left after handing him a report. "You wanted to meet me that is why I have come today. Me and my Chief Secretary want to submit this report to you. Now we have a meeting at Digha so we seek your permission to leave," the Chief Minister was quoted as saying.
