| Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress today kicked off its campaign for the national elections, due by May, by holding a mega rally in Kolkata.
The ruling party in West Bengal is also observing its 'Shaheed Diwas' or Martyrs Day today, an event it usually holds on July 21 every year in memory of 13 party workers killed during a demonstration in 1993.
Ms Banerjee's rally also comes shortly after her party's impressive performance in the recent panchayat elections in the state.
The rally, likely to be attended by almost three lakh people from across West Bengal, is being held at the Brigade Parade Ground with the iconic Victoria Memorial serving as a backdrop.
The sprawling ground in Kolkata is also slated to host BJP's PM hopeful Narendra Modi's rally on February 5 and the Left Front's on February 9.
For Kolkatans, however, the mega rally promises to be a traffic nightmare. The ruling Trinamool Congress has already apologised for holding the rally on a weekday.
