Mamata Banerjee meets Nitin Gadkari, discusses infra projects
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee met Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari on Thursday, the third day of her visit to Delhi, and discussed several infrastructure projects.
She later met DMK leader Kanimozhi, and wrapped up the day with meetings with artistes Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi.
Banerjee said she spoke to Gadkari about bringing manufacturing industry to West Bengal, such as electric buses or other vehicles, and stressed on the need for proper roads as the state borders Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, and connects the Northeastern states.
She brought up the deep sea port at Tajpur, as well as specific bridges and flyovers in separate parts of the state. The Tajpur seaport is expected to see an investment of Rs 15,000 crore and generate 25,000 jobs.
