KOLKATA: In a first since last year's state elections, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday held a "courtesy meeting" with leader of the opposition Suvendu Adhikari at her chamber in the state assembly, raising eyebrows in political circles.
Later, during a discussion on 'Constitution Day' in the House, the CM said that she had at one point adored him like a brother.
Adhikari and Banerjee had been at loggerheads since the end of 2020 when he switched over to the BJP from the TMC and defeated the TMC supremo in Nandigram in the assembly polls.
