This is not correct. (Maybe) I will then correct that again and send another letter.” Banerjee had written twice to PM Narendra Modi after the flood broke out in the state. The CM said alert had been issued for six districts.‘Only in polls’Mamata Banerjee said that BJP leaders visit West Bengal “only during polls but forget about the state when it matters most”. “Only Bengal is being deprived of flood grants”, she claimed.
