bdnews24.com: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will accompany Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his Bangladesh visit, reports the Press Trust of India (PTI). Modi is due to arrive in Dhaka June 6 for a two-day state visit. Quoting a minister of West Bengal state government, the news agency reported that Banerjee had been included in Modi’s entourage. “The Chief Minister will go along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Bangladesh next month,” the state news agency quoted Education and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Partha Chatterjee as saying. “We hope this visit will strengthen relations between the two Bengals (West Bengal and Bangladesh) and also between the two countries,” he reportedly said. Banerjee’s party, the Trinamool Congress, is being probed by India’s Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for the Saradha chit fund scam. On Thursday, the CBI wrote to a bank in Kolkata seeking details of 21 accounts maintained by Trinamool and its associated organisations, reports NDTV. In March, the investigators had sought details of Trinamool’s income and expense accounts between 2010 and 2014.
