Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee said her party would return to government soon, four months after losing the West Bengal assembly election. Speaking on Friday at the Trinamool Chhatra Parishad foundation anniversary programme on Cathedral Road, she urged supporters not to worry and said BJP members themselves would answer for what she described as the party’s injustices.

The event also highlighted divisions between two Trinamool camps. Banerjee’s faction held its gathering on Cathedral Road, while the camp of opposition leader Ritabrata Banerjee organised a programme on Rani Rashmoni Road. Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee’s Kalighat camp drew comparatively more people, according to the report. Leaders from Ritabrata’s side said they complied with a court-set attendance limit and described their event as successful.

Banerjee accused police of politically motivated actions and said she would travel to districts and hold programmes with public permission if police approval was denied. Abhishek Banerjee also criticised police over the removal of billboards from his Camac Street office. Trinamool leaders called Ritabrata’s camp and 20 MPs who joined NCPI in Delhi disloyal, while Banerjee said legal action was under way.
