Mamata to give away Birsa Munda Awards
Chief minister Mamata Banerjee will hand over the Birsha Munda award for Science to Professor Bipan Tudu at a function in Adivasi Bhavan tomorrow.
Describing the political situation in the country as "terrible", West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday reinforced her message to all the regional parties to come together to corner the Bharatiya Janata Party.
"I am giving the message to all the regional parties, be together, be united. My party will stand by all of you. Because this is the right time that the parties unite for the people," Banerjee said at the end of a party programme.
"A terrible thing is going on in the country in the name of politics. The situation in the country is such now that this is an opportunity for all the regional parties to get together and fight united," she said while addressing the party workers after the organisational election of the party for the national council members.

Taking a swipe at the BJP-run central government, the Trinamool Congress chief said she would travel all over the country to convince people for building an allied front if the BJP tries to capture Bengal.
"If they take up the strategy to capture Bengal, my strategy is to go from place to place in the country and unite everyone," she said.
Banerjee also asked her party workers present at the meeting to consolidate the party in the state and help the neighbouring states when needed.
She urged everyone to take the next two years as a challenge to fight day and night until the "wrongdoers" are toppled at the Centre.
