Mamata Banerjee on Sunday divulged a “personal secret”, hidden for years at her Harish Chatterjee Street home in Calcutta, and told the world how her nephew Abhishek joined politics. Pained by my sufferings, he went around the house shouting slogans against then chief minister Jyoti Basu, seeking answers why I was attacked. He had been intent on joining politics ever since that incident,” the Bengal chief minister told a rally at Belpahari in Jhargram. He formally joined politics as national president of Trinamul Yuva in 2011 before being made Trinamul youth president. That is why the youth are brought in,” the Trinamul chief said.
