“They are fighting Mamata Banerjee. When they [BJP cadres] have been able to fight it out against Mamata Banerjee without a mask, they think they can also fight against Covid-19 without wearing a mask. I have decided that if I get infected by the coronavirus, then I will go and hug Mamata Banerjee,” added his remark further.
