Over the last decade, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has been widely known in Bangladesh for her last-minute opposition to the Teesta water-sharing deal that could not be signed during the then Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh s visit to Dhaka in 2011.
Now, upon any Indian dignitary s visit to Dhaka, the most prominent question is when the Teesta deal will be signed.
The response is always that it depends on West Bengal, as the Indian constitution guarantees the state s right to say on international agreements on transboundary rivers .
As India s ruling party BJP conducted a major campaign spree in West Bengal before the polls, it had indicated the signing of the deal if BJP won the polls.
