Bengal election: With dharna against EC, CM Banerjee returns to her street fighter avatar

With her dharna on Tuesday at Gandhi Murti in Kolkata against the election commission's 24-hour campaign ban imposed on her, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has returned to her 'street fighter avatar'.

A signature element of her politics is encapsulated in her move to protest against the election commission. It is reminiscent of her leadership in movements in the past, like those at Singur and Nandigram.
