Mamata Banerjee Alleges Aviation Hold-Up: Central Agencies Under Fire

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has accused central agencies of hindering her travel plans amid election activities, alleging that her flight faced a half-hour delay due to these disruptions.

Speaking at a rally in Beleghata, Banerjee cited an incident involving Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren's helicopter, which was reportedly held up for forty minutes. Despite the serious allegations, she provided no further details.

Banerjee expressed frustration over her perceived lack of priority from aviation authorities, reminding officials they must remain long after political leaders come and go. Her remarks underscore the ongoing tension between state leadership and central agencies.
