Cutting across party lines leaders of different political parties in West Bengal, including Lok Sabha candidates, hit the streets smeared in gulal and colours on Thursday, as the state celebrated Holi.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee wished the people of the state on the occasion of Holi.
In a tweet, Banerjee said "she won't be celebrating Holi this year in memory of the Pulwama martyrs."
Singh called upon people to "end the TMC misrule and vote the BJP to power."
West Bengal minister Firhad Hakim, who was flanked by common people and voters in Chetla area, said "we have been celebrating Holi for years. This is the tradition of Bengal, to celebrate different festivals with equal gusto and enthusiasm."
