While interacting with the monks, Suvendu reminisced about visiting the Math with his father in an old Ambassador car. He recalled spending time there and sitting by the Hooghly River. The monk added, “CM mentioned that he has been visiting the Tamluk Math of the Ramakrishna Math and Mission in East Midnapore since his early days. He was sincere in asking for the monks’ blessings to run the government.”
