• CM Mamata Banerjee laid the foundation stone for the 1700 crore Gangasagar Bridge over Muriganga, alongside other projects worth 2324.30 crore.
• She invoked a Left Front era slogan, "Government of load shedding, no longer needed," asserting the Left "will not return" and infrastructure has improved.
• Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari criticized the bridge's foundation stone laying as an "election sham."
• Mamata simultaneously attacked CPI(M) and BJP, also reviewing Gangasagar Mela preparations and expecting 1 crore visitors.
• She lamented lack of external funds for the "international-standard global fair" and criticized "injustice" towards Bharat Sevashram Sangha Maharaj.
