West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee entered the Central Hall of Parliament today flanked by her MPs.

She entered like a queen, walking ahead of the entourage and went to her usual corner seat in the last row of Central Hall.

Almost immediately 50-60 journalists and 40 MPs surrounded her and jostled to hear her.

She began by talking about GST - WB finance minster Amit Mitra meeting union finance minister Arun Jaitley.

She also accused Congress of stalling developmental bills and for more than one hour held court at Central Hall.
