New Delhi: As a move to protest against fuel price hike, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday commuted to and from state secretariat Nabanna on an electric scooter.

While holding a placard protesting against the petrol price hike, helmet-clad Banerjee waved at people on both sides of the road during the seven-km-long journey from Hazra More to the state secretariat in the first half.

However, the ride seems to have sustained a minor hiccup when she nearly fell while attempting to drive the electric scooter in Howrah. She, fortunately, regained her balance with the support of people around and continued to drive. 

As she continues the ride, party workers around her appear to be supporting her vehicle to maintain balance.

As soon as the video of the incident surfaced on Twitter, netizens took to sharing funny reactions - many of them featuring photos of PM Narendra Modi. Here are some of the tweets:

The drive, meanwhile, has also received its share of supportive reactions.
