West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee is on a meet and greet in Parliament today.

First up, was BJP senior leader LK Advani. She said she met Adavni and asked about his health.

She also bumped into SP leader Jaya Bachchan and shared a Kodak moment. It is not known whether the two firebrand politicians spoke in Bengali.

Mamata Banerjee said she will also meet Sonia Gandhi and Rahul, followed by Deve Gowda and Arvind Kejriwal.

She also met Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut.

Speaking on the Assam NRC, Mamata said Assam is the border of Bengal. "The NRC will affect us also. It is our neighbour, will we not raise our voice if our neighbor is unhappy?"

Speaking to NDTV Mamata said she had no problems with BJP president Amit Shah coming to West Bengal. "Let him come 365 days, we have no problem," she said in her characteristic manner.

She warned that the BJP's actions will lead to a bloodbath.

When asked to comment on Rahul GAndhi's comment that she could be the PM face for the 2019 polls, Mamata Banerjee did not dismiss it outright, but said prosaically, "let us first defeat the BJP."
