Feisty fighter: Mamata Banerjee on dharna in
Kolkata against the EC’s 24-hour campaign ban on her
The Gandhi statue on Mayo Road has been one of the preferred protest sites in Kolkata for political parties and civil society groups. On April 13, Mamata Banerjee chose the venue to mark her dissent against the Election Commission (EC).
