Mamata thanks Momen, highlights Bengal’s proximity to Bangladesh
“People of Bengal have put their trust in us, they put their trust in us again. We will give due respect to this trust and love of the people. We will always be there by their side in happiness and sorrow,” Mamata wrote.
She also greeted Dr Momen and his family members ahead of Durga Puja.
Earlier, Dr Momen congratulated the Bengal Chief Minister and her party Trinamool Congress for the win in the by-elections.
In his congratulatory message to Mamata, the Foreign Minister hoped that Bangladesh’s relations with Bengal would be closer and complementary in the days to come in the interest of mutual welfare and development.
Mamata won the Bhabanipur assembly seat on Sunday by a record margin of 58,832 votes against Priyanka Tibrewal of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
This victory ensured her continuance as the Chief Minister of West Bengal.
