drive and said the PM should do “Covid ki Baat” rather than doing “Mann Ki
Baat”. Mamta Banerjee also showed a victory sign before leaving the polling
station. Abhishek Bannerjee, Mamta's nephew also cast his vote.
On the other hand, carrying the campaigning forward BJP
president JP Nadda targeted Mamta Banerjee and said that Mamta is misleading
the people over the Covid-19 vaccination whereas the BJP leader Amit Malviya
targeted the CM over clean drinking water said CM failed to provide the clean
drinking water.
