Chief minister Mamata Banerjee faces off against leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari, once her party colleague and now among her fiercest adversaries. In Chetla, Trinamool workers began writing graffiti for Mamata from Tuesday morning, hours before the party formally announced its candidates.

Party workers, however, insist they will highlight neglected issues.
