West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi while he was on his way out of the city after a programme here.
Banerjee went to the NSC Bose International Airport to see off the prime minister.
The two leaders spoke for a short while.
Trinamool Congress sources said the two only exchanged pleasantries.
"Banerjee had gone to the airport as per of her constitutional responsibility. It was just a courtesy meeting," the sources said.
Modi attended the inaugural function of the Sri Gaudiya Math & Mission's centenary celebration here on Sunday evening.
