Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s wife at the Kolkata airport before boarding her flight to New Delhi and they exchanged pleasantries.

“It was a chance meeting and they exchanged greetings. The chief minister also gifted her a sari,” the source said.

Banerjee is scheduled to meet the prime minister on Wednesday in New Delhi, during which she would highlight various issues like funds that are due to the state.
