West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee made colourful paintings while sitting on a dharna on Tuesday to protest the 24-hour ban imposed by the Election Commission.
Mamata, who arrived at the Mayo road venue in the morning and began her sit-in next to a Mahatma Gandhi statue, turned to paints and canvases and produced at least two paintings while sitting on her wheelchair.
The TMC chief is staging the dharna as a mark of protest against what she called the EC’s “unconstitutional decision” to bar her from campaigning for 24 hours in the ongoing assembly polls in the state. EC’s order came after Mamata’s remarks against the central forces and a statement that had alleged religious overtones.
