Mamata Banerjee to skip 'one nation one election committee’ meet in Delhi

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Monday said she would skip the meeting of the ‘one nation one election’ committee in New Delhi on Tuesday, citing engagements related to the upcoming state budget.

The TMC supremo said she has communicated to the committee chief, former President



Ramnath Kovind, about her inability to attend the meeting.

“I have cancelled my New Delhi trip… The state budget will be presented in the assembly on February 8, and there are only two days to go. In this situation, I had to call off the visit,” Banerjee told reporters at the state secretariat.
