Mamta Banerjee faced opposition from Hindu Yuva Vahini during Varanasi visit

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee faced protests from Hindu Yuva Vahini during her visit to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s constituency here on Wednesday, with members of the right-wing outfit waving black flags and raising slogans against him. Banerjee, who arrived in the city this evening to campaign for a Samajwadi Party candidate, was on her way to Dashashwamedh Ghat to attend the ‘Ganga Aarti’ when Vahini workers gathered in front of her convoy at Chetganj intersection. The protesters raised slogans against him and waved black flags while the police tried to stop them. Banerjee got down from her vehicle and stood on the road for some time.

As the convoy moved forward, BJP supporters showed it black flags and raised slogans of “Mamata Banerjee bacha jao (go back)” and “Jai Shri Ram” in Gadolia area. Policemen posted in the area tried to snatch the black flags and drive away the protesters.
