Fani Row: Modi Says He Called Mamata Twice, She Responds With Jibe

Earlier, the TMC had called Modi’s decision to call the West Bengal governor an “attack on the federal structure.”

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday, 6 May, said that she was unable to receive Prime Minister Narendra Modi's calls made to her office as she was then camping at Kharagpur to closely monitor the possible advent of Cyclone Fani in the state.

According to a report published by The Hindu, the prime minister’s office has clarified that two phone calls were made to the West Bengal chief minister. It was after the chief minister refused to speak to the prime minister that he was “forced” to speak to the governor, the official said.
