Metro took a tour and spoke to some party workers painting the walls. It will play a decisive role in our victory this time as well,” said Santanu Roy, a Trinamool worker from the Rashbehari constituency. BJP workers are not to be left behind“We start working from 9am and continue till late evening, with a brief lunch break in between,” said Das, the BJP worker. But we often have to fight for space, as Trinamool and BJP often target walls earmarked for us,” said Poddar.
