New Delhi, Aug. 22 -- West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee stated, taking a veiled swipe at the BJP "nostalgic", and went on to say that in the past, she had " drawn the blueprints, arranged the funds, initiated the works and ensured that the different ends of Kolkata ( Joka, Garia, Airport, Sector V, etc) were connected by an intra- city Metro grid."

The West Bengal CM's comments on X come as PM Modi is set to inaugurate new stretches of the Kolkata metro on Friday.

The chief minister has decided to skip the inauguration of the three new Kolkata Metro stretches that the Prime Minister will unveil, as per reports.
