"Mamata Banerjee's fight to protect the rights of farmers is memorable. She went on a hunger strike for the farmers of Singur. So to the farmers of the country, she is the mother," Soren said, addressing a public meeting at the Gopiballavpur Jatra Maidan after the march.

"Farmers also know that Mamata Banerjee will never let anyone take away their rights," she added.
