Prime Minister Narendra Modi will host a high tea for forty close relatives and friends of Netaji Subas Chandra Bose on Wednesday. The PM will meet with Bose's family individually and would also hold a group discussion with them, sources have said. Political pundits believe that the meeting is being held keeping in mind next year's West Bengal assembly elections. The initiative comes days after the Mamata Banerjee-led government announced the declassification of 64 Netaji's files.
