Will Mamata's participation in rath yatra change her image?

The 48th edition of the ISKCON Rath Yatra in Kolkata was inaugurated by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee by symbolically tugging at the ropes and following the ritual of sweeping the road with a golden broom.

"Heartiest greetings to all on the auspicious occasion of Rath Yatra. Jai Jagannath. May Lord Jagannath's Rath Yatra bless everyone.," she said.

Banerjee vouched for the religion that loves one and all and ended her talk with 'Jai Bangla'.
