Former West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s brother Babun Banerjee on Tuesday praised incumbent chief minister Suvendu Adhikari, expressing his support for the BJP leader and saying he wanted to see him continue as chief minister.
“I am feeling very good. He came to my Jagaddhatri Puja. He came to my Kali Puja. He came to my blood donation camp. On behalf of our club, a big thank you and welcome.
Welcoming Adhikari during his visit to his puja club, Babun said he was pleased with the interaction and recalled the chief minister’s participation in several events organised by the club, including Jagaddhatri Puja, Kali Puja and a blood donation camp. Speaking to news agency PTI , Babun said Adhikari’s work over the past six months had strengthened his support for him. “Looking at what Suvendu Adhikari has done for Bengal in the last six months, we want to see him become CM again,” he said. It feels very good,” he said. Describing the occasion as a happy one, Babun said he wanted Adhikari to continue his work across West Bengal . He also said his association with the chief minister went back several years and that he would continue supporting him.
And today the Chief Minister came to our place.
“All the good things that our minister did, it was Suvendu Adhikari who did them. It feels very good for us.
We only want Suvendu Adhikari to move forward, and we are with you,” he said. Reiterating his admiration for Adhikari when asked about the chief minister’s visit to the area near Mamata Banerjee’s residence, Babun said his support for him was not new.
Earlier this year, Adhikari took over as West Bengal chief minister after the BJP came to power in the state, replacing the Trinamool Congress government led by Mamata Banerjee.
