Mamata Banerjee leads dharna in Kolkata, says ‘will fight or die’

Former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee  on Tueaday led a protest in central Kolkata against alleged post-election attacks on Trinamool Congress (TMC) party leaders and workers, including her nephew and member of parliament Abhishek Banerjee. Addressing supporters through a megaphone after authorities allegedly barred microphones and a stage, Banerjee accused the BJP-led state government of targeting opposition leaders and forcibly evicting hawkers. "We will fight or die," she said, according to reports, while announcing that opposition parties would soon meet in Delhi to discuss a nationwide response.

As per reports, dherna was attended by only five of the party's 80 MLAs, Mamata accused the BJP of attempting to break the Trinamool after "looting votes" in the polls.The MLAs present at the protest site in central Kolkata's Esplanade were Sovandeb Chattopadhyay, Nanya Bandopadhyay, Madan Mitra, Ashok Deb and Asima Patra. Dola Sen, Kalyan Banerjee and Dereck O'Brien were the MPs seen beside Mamata. Already, over 100 councillors have ditched the party. Several MPs have also quit key party posts while expressing dissatisfaction with the TMC leadership, especially Abhishek. Among the prominent voices has been TMC MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar.
Initially, the TMC planned to hold the protest at Rani Rashmoni Avenue. However, the Kolkata Police denied permission at the key intersection. Mamata eventually shifted the protest venue to Esplanade's Y-channel.
