West Bengal
Thanking the people for the Trinamool Congress’s landslide victory in the assembly elections, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said on Sunday that West Bengal has “saved” India with its mandate. “It is the victory of the people of Bengal, the victory of democracy. Bengal has saved India today. This landslide victory came after fighting against several odds — the Centre, its machinery, its agencies. This victory has saved humanity,” she said. Banerjee said even though her party received a landslide mandate, no grand oath-taking ceremony will be organised. Banerjee, however, lost her Nandigram to his former aide Suvendu Adhikari who is now in the BJP. Reiterating her pre-poll promise, Banerjee said her government will provide free vaccines to the people of the state.
