Partha Chatterjee and
Sudip Bandopadhyay, Mukherjee said. “It was in 2011 when I left a government job and joined politics because I wanted to work for the people. Though I contested on Congress ticket but it was because of
Mamata Banerjee’s fight against the Left Front, I could easily win”.
“Now when BJP aggression is felt all over the country, it was only Mamata Banerjee who could fight against them and single-handedly defeat them. I believe that she is the only leader in the country who can answer all the aggression of BJP. I feel proud that she has allowed me to join the party,” Mukherjee said.

A Muslim private tutor in Birbhum’s Rampurhat spent an entire day to overcome hurdles and cremate the body of a Hindu trader who died of Covid-19 on Friday.
Sudhanshu Karmakar, 37, a trader hailing from Bankura who stayed in Birbhum’s Mohammedbazar, died at a private nursing home in Rampurhat town on Friday.
Radharaman, his elder brother who stays in Bolpur, came to Rampurhat but had no idea how to cremate Sudhanshu.
“I was completely helpless after hospital authorities asked me to receive the body. I had no idea what to do apart from crying out loud,” said Radharaman.
He tried to reach out to people at the hospital but most did not help as the body was of a Covid patient. It was at this point that Ataur Rahaman, 47, appeared.
