Mamata Banerjee mocks Modi on Howrah station

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has issued a sharp political challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi following his recent boat ride on the Ganga river in Kolkata. In a public statement, she mocked the Modi government's development claims by sarcastically announcing she had turned Howrah railway station into an 'International Station' from which one could catch a direct train to London. This continues her pattern of using local platforms to critique the central government's policies and promises.
