West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday inaugurated Christmas festivities in Kolkata’s Park Street but did not waste an opportunity to talk about her recent visit to Goa.

Referring to her visit to Basilica of Bom Jesus where relics of St. Francis Xavier are preserved, the Chief Minister said, “I was telling the Archbishop [Archbishop of Kolkata], I have seen St. Xavier’s memorial and touching the wall. It was the first time I saw it and I was astonished. I am so proud that I got the opportunity to visit…”

Only a day ago, the Chief Minister had tweeted extending greetings to people of Goa on the State’s Liberation Day. “Greetings to all my Goan brothers and sisters on the 60th #GoaLiberationDay. I salute the supreme sacrifice of all our freedom fighters. On this momentous occasion, come let us pledge to usher in a New Dawn for our beautiful state and honour their sacrifice,” Ms. Banerjee had tweeted. She has been using social media to reach out to people of Goa and make poll promises like Griha Laxmi Card promising ₹5,000 to women of every Goan household.
