Mamata Banerjee dances with garden workers, plucks tea leaves In Bengal, See here

On Thursday, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee went to a tea estate in the Darjeeling district, where she spoke with the workers and helped pick leaves.

Ms. Banerjee, donning the apron of the tea pluckers, joined the workers in singing a few lines and shaking a leg.

The state’s northern districts are the focus of the chief minister’s six-day tour.

“I picked up tea leaves today after dressing in their clothes. From them, I learned how to pluck tea. I can now pick tea leaves in any tea garden. My biggest takeaway from today is this: She later remarked, “I remember I wrote a poem about them (tea leaves and pluckers) long ago.”

With more than 100 books to her name, the supremo of the Trinamool Congress includes several poems.

“We are related to the Hills people by blood. “The Hills turned into my own home,” she continued.

Additionally, Ms. Banerjee addressed the tea garden employees and gave them winter clothing.

In addition to serving the Hillspeople “pani puris,” Ms. Banerjee started making momos at a roadside stand in Darjeeling after visiting the area last year.
Subsequently, Ms. Banerjee came to this community hall to bless her nephew, Abesh Banerjee, who had married his lifelong girlfriend at this ceremony.

Documents pertaining to land rights will be given out by the chief minister to residents of these tea gardens on Friday.

One of the state’s main demands from the tea-growing regions has been the recognition of land rights.

An official claims that over 3 lakh laborers live in the state’s northern tea gardens.

Ms. Banerjee arrived in Kurseong on Wednesday and will be attending several public distribution events organized by the state while she is there.
