Bengal is celebrating its Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee, by modelling an idol of her for upcoming Durga pooja celebrations. Chakdah, a city and municipality in Kalyani subdivision of Nadia district in West Bengal shows Mamata has dressed in her ubiquitous white saree with a white and blue border, with a hands folded in a namaste gesture. The fibreglass idol of the Chief Minister has 10 hands separately attached from behind, each pointing towards the government schemes introduced/implement by her in the past five years as leader of the state. Here's what Twitterati had to say:
