Kolkata, Aug 11: After Mamata Banerjee’s show of strength in Kolkata on Saturday, it’s the turn of the Left Front. Not wanting to be left behind, Left parties are holding a rally in Kolkata to protest the bifurcation of Eastern Railways. Hundreds of Left Front supporters began gathering in the Brigade Parade ground, the main venue of the rally, from early morning.

Police has been deployed in large numbers and the presence of barriers is disrupting transportation in several areas.
Mamata, in her rally on Saturday, had lashed out against Centre for going ahead with bifurcation decision and blamed the Left government for persecuting Trinamool workers. Bureau Report
