West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who is on an official tour to Britain, did early morning jogging in London wearing slippers. The video was shared by All India Trinamool Congress leaders on their social media platforms. In the video, Banerjee can be seen jogging with her team in her trademark saree and slippers.

Talking about Bengal and Britain’s ties, she said, “Bengal and Britain share a relationship that spans centuries, rooted in history, culture, and commerce. As we landed in London yesterday, we stepped into a city that, much like Kolkata, carries the weight of its past while embracing the dynamism of the present. Before the day’s engagements commenced, I took a moment to immerse myself in the essence of London’s timeless grandeur. From its iconic landmarks to its storied streets, the city exudes an old-world charm that speaks of history and evolution – values that Bengal, too, holds close to its heart.”
