A controversy has erupted over the scheduled inauguration of Sealdah Metro station of the East-West corridor in Kolkata on July 11, with the TMC claiming that Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has not been invited to the Railway Ministry programme.
The opposition BJP shot back stating the TMC government, which “never extends invitation” to saffron camp MPs and MLAs for state programmes, should get to taste its own medicine.
Union Minister Smriti Irani, who arrived in Kolkata on Sunday, is scheduled to attend the event.
