Kolkata: After battling the serious charge of minority appeasement, it seems Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee is emulating Congress president Rahul Gandhi, who is undergoing a pro-Hindu image makeover. Just as Rahul has been going temple-hopping in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh, Banerjee too read the 'chandi path', which is an integral part of Mahalaya that is recited to welcome Goddess Durga. She later inaugurated a Durga Puja pandal at Kolkata's Bagbazar.
