Key Questions Answered
Mamata Banerjee is holding her public rally at the Sreerampur Court Maidan following directives from the Calcutta High Court.
Keeping the Election Commission's directive in mind, the posters were put up without any party symbols, names, or mention of Mamata Banerjee as a Trinomool Congress leader, and featured alternative colors instead of blue and white.
The Calcutta High Court changed the venue from a private property after landowner and police review petitions noted that political meetings cannot be conducted on private land without permission from the trustee board.
