“The Trinamool Congress has become politically bankrupt. Their workers are frustrated now and that is why they are showing black flags. Trinamool Congress has finished,” Banerjee said at the rally.
After the political programme, both Adhikari and Banerjee left for the national capital to attend an urgent meeting with Union home minister Amit Shah. BJP state unit president Dilip Ghosh and Mukul Roy also went for the meeting.
