Panaji: West Bengal Chief Minister and All India Trinamool Congress Chief Mamata Banerjee announced on Friday in Goa, that she is not there for power but to help the people of the state. ‘I am just like your sister, I didn’t come here to capture your power. It touches my heart if we can help people when they face trouble’, Mamata said, during her campaign in the state, ahead of the 2022 assembly elections.
While addressing TMC party leaders in Panaji, Banerjee claimed that Bengal is a very strong state. ‘We want to see Goa as a strong state in the future. We want to see the new dawn of Goa. Somebody’s questioning ‘Mamata is in Bengal, how she will do that in Goa?’ Why not? I’m Indian, I can go anywhere. You can go anywhere. I believe in secularism. I believe in unity. I believe India is our motherland. If Bengal is my motherland, then Goa is also my motherland’, she added.
