Mamata Banerjee launched barbs at the BJP from the stage of her sit-in protest. She said, "Unity is strength. Ramakrishna Paramhansa preached about multiple faiths and beliefs. I respect everyone who resides in Bengal. BJP is spreading a narrative that I have brought Muslims in Bengal. Was I born when the country was divided? They don't understand the language of love. They have altered history. There's no mention of Gandhiji, Netaji, or Swamiji in the history books. We launched the Mahatma-shree scheme after the Union government shut down MGNREGA."
