Mamata Banerjee serves tea and interacts with locals in Nandigram

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee took to the streets and visited a tea stall a day before filing her nomination papers from the Nandigram assembly seat. Mamata Banerjee served tea to the people around and later also had tea at the stall while interacting with the locals.

In a video, Mamata Banerjee can be seen pouring tea into paper cups from a large kettle as people gather around her and record videos of the act.

In August 2019, the West Bengal CM made tea and shared it with the locals at a stall in Duttapur village in Digha as part of an administrative tour-cum-break from city life. “Sometimes the little joys in life can make us happy. Making and sharing some nice tea (cha/chai) is one of them. Today, in Duttapur, Digha,” Banerjee wrote alongside the video.

CM Banerjee is in Nandigram for a two-day campaign visit before she will file her nomination papers for the seat on March 10.

Mamata Banerjee is pitted against her former confidante Suvendu Adhikari, who joined the BJP some time ago, in the high-profile Nandigram seat that will go to poll on April 1 in the second phase.

During her Nandigram visit, she kicked up a storm by reciting mantras (hymns) from a religious text, Chandipath. “I do Chandipath before stepping out every day,” said Mamata Banerjee adding, the BJP should not “play its Hindu card with me”.

Elections to the West Bengal assembly are being held in eight phases this time. Voting for the first phase will be held on March 27 and for the last phase on April 29.
