Teesta deal not possible without West Bengal: Mamata
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee opposes the Teesta water-sharing deal with Bangladesh, citing potential problems for local residents. She criticizes the renewal of the Ganges water-sharing treaty, claiming the state was excluded from discussions. Banerjee argues these are not purely bilateral issues and involve the state’s interests. She has written to Prime Minister Modi expressing her concerns about both agreements. Source ANI
