Mr Banerjee, in a lighter mood said, “I am putting all my efforts to raise the victory margin by more than 2 lakh as demanded by the people of my constituency. There is no Modi craze or wave here, however, the craze for Mamata Banerjee has increased manifold. I am a dedicated and devoted soldier of my party and leadership. During my campaigning, people from the rural areas gather to express their love, faith and gratitude to their Didi, Mamata Banerjee. There is no existing power, which can break the bondage of the people with Mamata Banerjee.”

Serampore is a very sensitive constituency. Rishra, Champdany and Domjur are cosmopolitan towns. People from different faith, religion, culture and language reside in Serampore LS constituency.

The Modi craze is over and the divide-and-rule policy on religious sentiments will backfire this time. The BJP will lose very badly, said the incumbent MP.
