West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee may find union minister Amit Shah inaugurating Durga Pooja festivities in her locality this year, The New Indian Express reports.
'Sanghasree Durga Puja Committee' has been organising the puja for the last 73 years. Previously helmed by Mamata Banerjee's brother Kartik Banerjee, it is now headed by BJP's state unit secretary Sayantan Basu. In the past few years, Mamata Banerjee had inaugurated the the Durga Puja festivities by the committee.
Basu said that the club, with which the puja committee is associated, had requested him to have Shah inaugurate the festivities and that he was looking at it.
"It has nothing to do with politics. Mr Sayantan Basu is our president. He has said he will talk to Amit Shah's office to have a date fixed for inaugurating the Durga Puja this time," Souradeep Dutta, assistant general secretary of the club told PTI.
