"mamata-banerjee"

Mamata Banerjee said that her government has also set up a committee to conduct year-long celebrations till January 23, 2022 across the state.

"Those who want to join the BJP can leave but we will never bow our heads to the saffron party," she said.

"We have to respect and save our soil. No one can destroy Bengal. We will not allow Bengal to become Gujarat" said Mamata, during Bangla Sangeet Mela 2020 in Kolkata.

Adhikari joined the podium along with Shah at Midnapore College Ground. He was received by Union minister of state for Woman and Child Development Debasree Choudhuri.

Rebutting Banerjee's comments, Owaisi tweeted, "So far you've only dealt with obedient Mir Jaffers & Sadiqs. You dont like Muslims who think & speak for themselves."

The Owaisi-Rajbhar meeting comes a day after the Aam Aadmi Party announced that it will contest the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls in 2022.

The TMC, after coming to power in 2011, has raised allocation for the education sector to Rs 37,069 crore from Rs 13,872 crore, State Education minister Partha Chatterjee said.

He asserted the saffron party will come to power in 2021 polls with more than 200 seats ousting the TMC "lock stock and barrel".

Asserting that the TMC will not allow the BJP-led Centre to sell government-owned coal mines, Banerjee also said "coal mafia are thriving under the saffron party".

Her statement came ahead of a crucial round of talks scheduled to be held between the Centre and representatives of the agitating farmers during the day.
