Ruling Trinamool Congress on Monday said Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has been opening durga pujas because of her close association with the festivity even before becoming CM, but wondered why Union Home Minister Amit Shah has chosen to inaugurate a durga puja in Kolkata.
TMC secretary general and state minister Partha Chatterjee said Shah could have inaugurated a durga puja in C R Park in Delhi instead of travelling all the way to Kolkata to do so.
He, however, said "this is for him (Shah) to decide where he should go."
When told about Banerjee starting durga pujas,Chatterjee said "She has been with the durga puja celebrations for several years, even before she became the chief minister."
