New Delhi, June 18 (IBNS): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will not attend the meeting of  political party chiefs with PM Narendra Modi on Wednesday, media reports said

According to reports, the meeting was about the "One Nation One Election" initiative as stated by Modi.

In a letter to Prahlad Joshi, the Parliamentary Affairs Minister, Mamata Banerjee sought a White Paper on the subject, saying the matter requires consultation with experts, reported NDTV.

In West Bengal's political paradigm, a strong battle could be seen between Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party.

The BJP made a strong performance in the Lok Sabha polls in Bengal as well this time where it won 18 seats.

The TMC managed to keep 22 with it.

In 2014 Lok Sabha Polls, TMC had won 34 seats,

Mamata Banerjee also skipped the NITI Ayog  meet last week.
