Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has accepted an invitation from the Aam Aadmi Party to speak at a workshop in Delhi Assembly. “They have invited me for a workshop in Delhi Assembly. I will go there,” Banerjee told reporters after a meeting with a seven-member delegation of AAP leaders at her office.

AAP legislator Somnath Bharti said they were here to see the functioning of the state Assembly. “We stand by ‘Didi’. We are with her in the federal structure,” he said while claiming that the newly-constructed Niti Aayog was dangerous for the country. Bharti also alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was causing harm to India’s parliamentary structure.

Earlier, the AAP delegation, comprising members of the Privilege Committee of Delhi Assembly, visited the West Bengal Assembly and met Speaker of the House Biman Banerjee. Stressing on the need to fight together against the Modi government, Bharti said, “Modi government is trying to interfere in the country’s parliamentary democracy with the help of newly constructed NITI Aayog. Together we shall fight against this.”
