It is this saying that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was repeating at a public meeting while referring to those former Trinamool leaders who had left her party.


The now viral clip of hers saying 'humba humba, rumba rumba, kamba, kamba' is from the speech she made at this meeting.

The 'humba humba, rumba rumba' part of the speech came when Banerjee was trying to convey the sounds the proverbial naughty cows make in the shed. In colloquial Bangla, a cow's moo is called "hamba".
