New Delhi: West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday filed her nomination from the Nandigram seat for the upcoming Assembly elections in the state. The TMC on March 5 released its list of candidates with Banerjee announcing that she will contest from Nandigram.

In her quest to win the Nandigram seat, Mamata is visiting the constituency regularly, where she can be seen doing some political stunts. Mamata’s main rival for the constituency is BJP is Suvendu Adhikari, who recently quit TMC.

Tea stalls are an integral part of Indian society as people gather there for tea as well as for discussion on various topics.

Recently, Mamata was seen serving tea to the people gathered there. In the video, she can be seen wearing a white saree, holding a plastic sieve and serving the hot tea from a saucepan. Soon after, the cups were served to the waiting crowd.

In the past, Banerjee has served tea while on a round of public events. In August 2019, she was seen making tea and serving it to locals in Bengal’s Digha.

Her second political stunt in Nandigram came when she launched her poll campaign asserting that no one should dare to play ‘Hindu card’ against her, adding that the people will make Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ‘April fool’ on the polling day.

“Those who are talking about 70:30 ratio should know that I read ‘Chandi path’ every morning before leaving home. I am the daughter of a Hindu family. Do not dare to play the Hindu card with me. I challenge them to have a competition with me in ‘Chandipath’,” said Banerjee while addressing a public meeting in Nandigram where she is contesting against her aide-turned- rival Suvendu Adhikari. She further chanted shlokas of ‘Chandipath’ on the stage. “Om Jayanti Mangala Kali Bhadrakali Kapalini, Durga Kshama Shiva Dhatri Swaha Swadha Namoastutte….”

On the insider versus outsider debate, Banerjee said, “Some people are calling me an outsider in Nandigram. I was born and brought up in the neighbouring Birbhum district. Today I have become an outsider. And, those coming from Gujarat are now insiders?”

“If you do not want me to file the nomination, I will not. But, if you consider me your daughter, then I will move ahead with filing my nomination,” she added.
