A day after she slammed the Centre for writing “Bharat” and not “India” on a Presidential G20 dinner invitation card and attacked the BJP for trying to change everything including the country’s historiography and history of national monuments, Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s office on Wednesday said she would indeed be attending the dinner in Delhi.

According to sources at State secretariat Nabanna, the Chief Minister would fly off to Delhi on Saturday “to attend the invitation of President Droupadi Murmu.”

The official declined to comment on whether the invitation card received at her office in Kolkata mentioned the words “President of Bharat” or President of India.

The Left promptly picked up the issue to point at her opportunistic politics. Referring to her Delhi visit a senior CPI(M) leader in Bengal said that the Chief Minister was going to Delhi to further her “politics of setting” with the BJP Government.

“While the recruitment and other scams are almost on the verge of being rapped up … where many of her senior leaders and even some of her family members may get arrested … in such a situation she needs an opportunity to hold the feet of Prime Minister Narendra Modi which she cannot do in public … so she will use this opportunity to meet the BJP leaders and plead for her family’s protection,” said a CPI(M) leader and a former Minister.

Earlier on Tuesday Banerjee had attacked the Centre for distorting and changing the history and heritage of India and feared that a day would come when the name of Poet Laureate Rabindranath Tagore would also be changed.
