If Modi can meet Nawaz Sharif, then why can’t we meet Mamata: Shiv Sena MP

On Tuesday, Mamata met NCP chief Sharad Pawar and leaders of some regional parties as well as NDA ally Shiv Sena to explore an option to take on the BJP in the next Lok Sabha polls, mooting a “one-to-one” fight in all the states.

“If our PM can meet Nawaz Sharif in Pakistan then why can’t we meet Mamata ji?,” said Sanjay Raut when questioned about the meeting.

The Shiv Sena MP said, in the past, she had been an important NDA member. She is not untouchable.She is an Indian and the Chief Minister of a state.

“The Trinamool Congress(TMC) supremo sought to rally the regional parties against the NDA even as Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, who mooted a non-Congress, non-BJP coalition in national politics, said the alternative being proposed by him would be a “people’s front of India”.
