Mamata not to attend PM's dinner on Tuesday
Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee will not attend the dinner on Tuesday to be hosted by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for UPA-II MPs and leaders to mark the coalition's three year in office at the Centre.
Railway Minister and Trinamool Congress all-India general secretary Mukul Roy said that though a 'personal invitation' has been extended to her to attend the dinner, Banerjee, also West Bengal Chief Minister, would not be able to make it because of her 'pre-occupation' in the state.
Roy, a close aide of Banerjee, said he is likely to attend the dinner with some other party MPs.
"It is basically a dinner extended by the Prime Minister every year to all MPs of the UPA and Banerjee is not an MP now," he added.
