Chief minister and Trinamul Congress chief Mamata Banerjee is all set to pay a visit to Murshidabad district which is considered as a stronghold of Congress MP Adhir Chowdhury. Ms Banerjee will address a public meeting in Berhampore on August 29.
After assuming the office of chief minister of West Bengal, this will be Ms Banerjee’s first visit to Murshidabad district.

State fisheries minister Subrata Saha said, “This would be the first visit of our Didi as a chief minister and so we will turn her rally into a festival.
