Will discuss aviation FDI with Mamata Banerjee: Ajit Singh.

Civil aviation minister Ajit Singh will soon discuss with West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee the issue of allowing foreign airlines to pick up stake in Indian carriers, which her party Trinamool Congress has been opposing.

"We will talk to Mamata and we will talk to DMK. We have already talked to NCP," Singh said while talking to reporters here after meeting home minister P Chidambaram on Wednesday.

Singh had met Banerjee once earlier to persuade her to give a go-ahead to the proposal that was originally mooted by the commerce ministry. Later, the proposal was approved by the civil aviation ministry. Trinamool Congress, a key UPA partner, has been opposing it for quite some time.
