At a political rally in Jhargram, Mamata Banerjee said that she did not consider Modi her Prime Minister, citing various reasons for her discontent.In 2019, Mamata Banerjee stated that she declined a meeting on Cyclone Fani with the Prime Minister because she did not consider Narendra Modi as her Prime Minister. She further claimed that West Bengal would address the damages of the cyclone independently and did not need help from the center. Carrying forward the constant back-and-forth between herself and Modi, Mamata Banerjee made jabs at the Prime Ministers' inability to take care of his people and suggested that she was unable to respond to PM Modi's calls for a meeting as she had a pre-scheduled political appointment at Jhargram, which was more important. Therefore, it is true that Mamata Banerjee declined the PM's request for a meeting and rejected his appointment as the Prime Minister.
