Videos of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee have gone viral. In one video, she is seen jogging at Hype Park in a white saree and slippers. Trinamool Congress leader Kunal Ghosh shared a series of pictures and videos of her London visit, in which the Bengal CM can be seen walking around London from Buckingham Palace to Hyde Park.
In the viral video, Mamata Banerjee can be heard urging those accompanying her to maintain the pace while passing through one of London's most famous parks. "See to it that no one is left behind," she says. This is a familiar sight in Bengal, where she is often seen walking long distances during political rallies and public events. However, even during her foreign tours, Mamata Banerjee's commitment to fitness remains unwavering.

West Bengal CM wore a white saree with a green border and white slippers for a morning walk that is described as a "warm-up." She also wore a black cardigan and a shawl to beat London's cold weather.
TMC's Kunal Ghosh shared a post on X with a caption, "According to the Chief Minister, today it is not a walk, but a warm-up".
Banerjee was also seen "back-walking" and clapping. She arrived in London on Sunday as part of an official visit aimed at strengthening Bengal's ties with Britain. Reflecting on the relationship between Bengal and Britain, Ms Banerjee stated, it "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," she wrote in a post on X.
