Mamata Banerjee holds her own umbrella while speaking to reporters

West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee says her meeting with PM Narendra Modi was a courtesy call. "During the meeting, I raised the issue of COVID and the need for more vaccines and medicines in the state. I also raised the pending issue of the change of name of the state. On this issue, he said, 'He will see'."
