UP polls: Mamata Banerjee to visit Varanasi soon; says ‘Congress failed to put up any fight against BJP’

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has said she is likely to visit poll-bound Uttar Pradesh after the Chhat Puja. According to a statement by the TMC supremo, she is set to visit Varanasi – the Lok Sabha constituency of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in some days. This comes after two senior Congress leaders joined the Trinamool Congress on Monday. The two leaders, Rajeshpati Tripathi and his son Lalitpati Tripathi, said they would carry on the fight to oust the BJP from power in UP and the Centre under the leadership of Banerjee.
