Lankan President Asked Mamata Banerjee If She Would Lead INDIA. Her Reply | Read
Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee -- on way to Spain to seek investment -- had an impromptu meeting with Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe at the Dubai airport. The conversation between the two leaders, apparently, was all politics and on the occasion, the President asked a crucial question that's uppermost in the minds of many. "Can I ask you a question," Mr Wickremesinghe is heard saying in a short clip that was circulated online. On Ms Banerjee's acquiescence, he said, "Will you lead the Opposition alliance? We all are wondering". "Oh my goodness," the Bengal Chief Minister said, completely taken aback. Then laughing, she added, "It depends on the will of the people, you know... If people support us, we can be in position (power) tomorrow."
