    West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee
    halted her convoy in Jhargram on Tuesday and served pakodas to people. "A
    true people's leader, she certainly knows how to win people's hearts!"
    tweeted the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) in response to a video of the
    party boss.

    Earlier in the day, she participated in a traditional celebration in the
    district commemorating the birth anniversary of tribal freedom warrior Birsa
    Munda, who spearheaded a rebellion against the British in what was then the
    Bengal presidency.

    The
    Bengal CM also renewed her all-out attack on the BJP-led Centre during the
    occasion, accusing it of failing to discharge the state's debts. "Do we
    have to beg the Centre to settle our financial obligations?" MNREGA funds
    are not being released. "If the BJP government does not settle our debts,
    it must leave office," Banerjee remarked.
