Sovan to return to active politics again

After breaking political hibernation and taking part in a road show on January 11, Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) former Mayor Sovan Chatterjee and his close aide Baisakhi Banerjee Thursday went to BJP headquarters in Kolkata and announced their new public outreach programme ‘Samadhan’, to be conducted only in Kolkata.

Addressing the media, Sovan, currently BJP convenor for the Kolkata organizational zone, will take out rallies in different parts of Kolkata from January 18.

“In the wake of covering all on the 51 Assembly constituencies of the metropolitan city, on January 18 we will take out a rally from Diamond Harbour, Bishnupur police station, on January 21 from Raidighi, on January 22 from Bagbazar Bata to Mahajati Sadan, on January 27 from Paddapukur to Party Office (Baruipur) and on January 28 Kolkata North Suburban District to address the problem of the people in the city,” said Sovan.

Alleging that the ruling Trinamool Congress leaders and activists are trying to tap his mobile, Sovan said that the TMC is gradually losing ground and is trying to get hold of BJP’s next move.
