Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose would have been proud of the way India is helping other countries during the coronavirus pandemic, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday in Kolkata as he raced West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to honour the Independence movement icon on his 124th birth anniversary. The PM and the Chief Minister made a rare joint appearance at the city's Victoria Memorial to launch an exhibition to honour Netaji. Ms Banerjee earlier held a massive rally in the city to mark the occasion. The optics of both events are significant as election to the Bengal assembly is just months away.
