Painting Keeps Mamata Busy During Dharna Against EC’s Campaign Ban

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday, 13 April, began a dharna at Gandhi Murti in Kolkata, as a mark of protest after the Election Commission of India’s 24-hour ban on her preventing her from campaigning.

The CM arrived at the Mayo Road venue in Kolkata on a wheelchair around 11:30 am, and appeared to be keeping herself busy by painting during the dharna.
