West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was seen jogging in London’s Hyde Park wearing a white saree and slippers. Trinamool Congress’ Kunal Ghosh posted a series of photographs and videos of Ms Banerjee’s visit to London where the Chief Minister is seen roaming around London from Buckingham Palace to Hyde Park, enjoying the city’s beauty, along with other officials.

Ms Banerjee wore a white saree with a green border and her usual white slippers for what is termed as a “warm-up”. She wore a black cardigan and a shawl to combat London’s chill.

In one of the tweets on X (formerly Twitter), TMC’s Kunal Ghosh put: “As per the Chief Minister, today it is not a walk, but a warm-up”.

Ms Banerjee was also seen “back-walking” and clapping.

This is not the first time Ms Banerjee has been spotted jogging in a foreign countryWhile on an official trip to Spain in 2023, the Chief Minister of West Bengal had a “refreshing morning” in Madrid as she jogged in a saree and slippers. The message was obvious: “Stay fit, stay healthy!”

Ms Banerjee reached London on Sunday as part of an official visit to further Bengal’s relations with Britain. Commenting on the history of Bengal-Britain relations, Ms Banerjee said, it “spans centuries, rooted in history, culture, and commerce”.

While descending upon London the day before, we arrived at a city akin to Kolkata‘s in terms of it weighing history and projecting today’s vibrancy. Ahead of the activities that started us off for the day, I chose to find some solace within London’s immovable essence of magnificence. Starting with its grand institutions and carrying along through streets storied enough in themselvesthis city conveys a very world of ages  the things about which history, about which progression  care Bengal no less passionately,” she penned on X.

Ms Banerjee looks ahead to “enriching Bengal’s involvement in Britain and re-establishing our time-honored bond“.
