"I am grateful to our Didi (West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool supremo Mamata Banerjee) for giving me this opportunity to serve people and considering me as deserving... I was beside Didi for the last 10 years and will continue to do so in the future," Sayantika said.

"I would appeal to people to come forward and support Didi. Bengal wants its own daughter only," she added.
