The TMC supremo, after addressing a party workers meeting on Tuesday, paid her reverence at the local mazar, popular among members of the minority community, and then offered prayers at Maa chandi temple nearby. As she entered the temple, women, who lined up next to the shrine, blew conch shells to greet her. At the mausoleum, too, she was extended a warm welcome. Next, Banerjee visited a roadside stall, where she prepared tea for the customers, much to the astonishment of the shop owner.
