West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee loves music, painting and also writes poems. But on Friday evening she showed another skill-set that was different from politics. She posted a video of herself playing badminton.
Wrapped in a shawl, Mamata Banerjee is seen rallying volley after volley and matching shot for shot on the badminton court. She also tries a couple of smash shots at her opponent what she usually does in the game of politics. But it was different here on the badminton court.
The 32-second video ends with Mamata Banerjee losing a point but it was all sports. She tweeted, “We love sports. A token game in a village…”
Mamata Banerjee is also an accomplished painter. One of her paintings hangs in the Rashtrapati Bhavan. A poem composed by her is set to be part of school curriculum in West Bengal. She also has a music album to her credit titled, “Roudrachaya” (Sunlight and Shade) with all songs penned and composed by the chief minister.
