Mamata Banerjee's return to her trademark streetfighter avatar on Friday was marked by a resounding slap she delivered to a Trinamool Congress member in Kolkata.
The Trinamool Congress workers hit the street on Wednesday with a protest march against the rape and murder of an 11-year-old girl in Baruipur.
The rally, however, was obstructed, reportedly by BJP workers.
The procession was regularly interrupted by jostling, pushing, and shoving between workers of the two parties. Security forces were forced to intervene with a baton charge.
