Chief minister and MLA-aspirant from Nandigram Mamata Banerjee held a public outreach here on Tuesday evening, after a meeting with Trinamul workers, a day before she files her nomination papers in Haldia.
Nandigram, once the pivot of the anti-land acquisition movement that catapulted Mamata and her party to power in 2011, is now again the focus of this crucial Assembly elections, as Mamata takes on her trusted lieutenant-turned-bête noire Suvendu Adhikari of the BJP.
Mamata toured Nandigram for nearly four hours, paying visits to temples of sentimental value, at least two Shahid Bedis, sites of remembrance for those killed in the 2007 land agitations, and an Islamic shrine.
