Mamata Banerjee in Panaji, Goa

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee during her visit in Goa declared that Goa, like Bengal, is her “motherland,” and that she is not there to “grab” power.
Mamata Banerjee quoted, “I am just like your sister, I didn’t come here to capture your power. It touches my heart if we can help people when they face trouble. You will do your job, we will just help you in the process.
She also quoted, “Bengal is a very strong state. We want to see that Goa is a strong state for the future. We want to see the new dawn of Goa. Somebody’s questioning ‘Mamata ji is in Bengal, how will she do it in Goa?’ Why not? I’m Indian, I can go anywhere. You can go anywhere.”
She added, “I believe in secularism. I believe in unity. I believe India is our motherland. If Bengal is my motherland, then Goa is also my motherland.”
