Kolkata, Oct 14 (PTI) In a jibe at the BJP, senior Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee on Saturday said that those who had once claimed that Durga Puja festivities were not allowed in West Bengal are now rushing to the state to inaugurate pandals.

Banerjee, who was speaking at the launch of the special autumnal edition of TMC's mouthpiece 'Jago Bangla' here, was referring to the news of Union Home Minister Amit Shah's likely visit to West Bengal to inaugurate the renowned Santosh Mitra Square Durga Puja in central Kolkata on October 16, five days before the start of the festival.

The crowd-puller puja known for its innovative marquees is patronised by BJP leader and Kolkata Municipal Corporation councillor Sajal Bose.
