During a visit to the office of All India Forward Bloc, which is a partner of the opposition Left Front, to wish the nonagenarian Ghosh, Banerjee also said that politics does not mean misusing power but working for the masses.
"Give us advise. If you see that any mistake is being committed by us anywhere, I give you the right to point it out," she said after greeting 94-year Ghosh with flowers and sweets and wishing him a healthy life.
Heaping praises on Ghosh, Banerjee said in his presence, "Ashok- da belongs to the genre of political leaders who have dedicated their lives to the masses. Leaders like him are examples. Rather than leading luxurious lives they have taken pains and suffered hardships to work for the masses."
Banerjee said she shares the lifestyle of various Left leaders who believed in simple living and working for the masses.
Ghosh, for his part, said, "We all want to follow the ideology of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose in our work. Mamata Banerjee, too, follows that ideology. She is just like my younger sister.
