During this time, his nephew and party General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee, senior TMC leader Madan Mitra, MP Kalyan Banerjee were also with him. Along with Banerjee, veteran party leaders Firhad Hakim, Derek O’Brien and Dola Sen were also seen, but most of the new faces who recently won assembly seats on TMC tickets were missing on the occasion. In this way, Mamata, who is fighting a battle with BJP on the political front, has faced disappointment from her own MLAs.

The love and affection for @MamataOfficial is ORGANIC, GENUINE AND UNMATCHED.
