West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday nearly fell while driving an electric scooter in Howrah. As a mark of protest against the fuel price hike, she was travelling to Kalighat from State Secretariat in Nabanna. However, she quickly regained her balance with support and continued to drive.
Earlier, in a unique protest against the fuel price hike, CM Banerjee rode pillion on an electric scooter to state secretariat Nabanna. CM Banerjee was seen sitting behind state minister Firhad Hakim, who rode the battery-powered electric scooter. With a placard protesting against the petrol price hike hanging around her neck, helmet-clad Banerjee waved at people on both sides of the road during the seven-km-long journey from Hazra More to the state secretariat.
