Mamata Banerjee takes to paint on dharna against Election Commission campaign ban

West Bengal Chief Minister staged a dharna against the 24-hour long campaign ban on her by Election Commission. She lashing out at the poll panel, had said on Twitter that she would hold a protest against the poll panel's "unconstitutional and undemocratic" decision.

CM Mamata sat on a protest in Kolkata to protest against the decision of the poll panel. 

During her protest, wheelchair-bound Mamata took to her favourite hobby and produced a few painting. 

Mamata arrived at the Mayo road venue around 11.40 am and began her sit-in next to a Mahatma Gandhi's statue. The Trinamool Congress supremo left the dharna site around 3 pm, almost after three hours of protest.

CM Mamata showed her paintings to the crowd, who had gathered around the baricaded area, where the Bengal CM was sitting on the protest. 

CM Mamata used her paintbrushes and colours on the canvas as bystanders looked on. Several Trinamool workers stood there with posters and banners in her support.
