Debabrata Roy also said, “We set up the two statues in 1990. Today, the Congress leaders who are pointing fingers at me at the instigation of the Trinamool Congress have never laid wreaths at the two statues. I put garlands on the two statues as a rule. In that case, I have no problem in establishing the statues of these two leaders of the country.”
