Mamata has said the final water-sharing deal on Teesta was different from the one she had agreed to. Gently refuting this, the PM said he and national security adviser Shivshankar Menon had been in touch with Mamata for over a month and that she was fully on board all decisions. Mamata reportedly believed that she would be done in by CPM protests if she agreed to the Teesta deal, but more importantly, the CM believed that she did not get enough importance from the Central government regarding a pact of this stature.
