Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday declared herself "a Hindu girl". This came as she tried to counter the BJP's charge of Muslim appeasement in a state where the minority community comprises around 30 per cent of the total voters. Mamata Banerjee recited Sanskrit mantras from Chandipath, a very popular book of hymns dedicated to Goddess Durga at Nandigram, from where she is contesting the Bengal polls.
