Sovan Chatterjee had to take care of my injured leg, says Baisakhi Banerjee on skipping BJP’s roadshow
Talking about rumours that they might rejoin TMC, Baisakhi Banerjee said that she and Sovan Cjatterjee were still in BJP and would remain there.
Mayor Sovan Chatterjee’s father-in-law and Mahestala Municipality chairman Dulal Das on Wednesday hit out at Baishakhi Banerjee as being responsible for the break in relation between mayor and his daughter, Ratna Chatterjee.
“Baishakhi Banerjee was responsible for the break in relation between Sovan Chatterjee and Ratna Chatterjee. If she is his friend as she is claiming , why she could not prevent the both from seeking separation?.
I cannot identify her to be our family friend,” alleged Das. Going a step further, mayor’s father-in law said: “Mayor is claiming that he had left his paternal house for good then why he is feeling so alone and why the other members of the family are not with him? Whereas, all the family members are solidly rallying behind Ratna Chatterjee,” he said.

I know Sovan Chatterjee as a person whom I respect to the core and shall remain his follower till the end.” She said that she had leant many things from the mayor.
“By virtue of being a follower of MrChatterjee, I was very fortunate enough to inherit some moral values, dignity and modesty from him. He had taught me how one should work for the people. I revere Mr Chatterjee as my friend and continue to be with him till the end,” Ms Banerjee quipped.
