Mamata ‘blocked’

Bankura, April 4: The Trinamul Congress today alleged that party chief Mamata Banerjee’s path was blocked by CPM marchers when she was going to a rally in Bishnupur, Bankura.

Mamata’s convoy had to stop for the CPM procession at a village in Bankura, about 250km from Calcutta. She got down from her car and reportedly told the processionists not to block the way. When they left, she continued towards Bishnupur.

But in the evening, Trinamul supporters lodged a complaint at Mejia police station in Bankura against the CPM marchers. The police, however, said there was no trouble.
