In view of a spike in Covid-19 cases in West Bengal, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday said her Trinamool Congress would organise small meetings in Kolkata. Speaking to a TV channel, Banerjee said she would shorten her speeches at campaign in different parts of the state so that the people don't have to stay long at the meetings. The Trinamool Congress will not hold any big gathering any more. The Covid-19 caseload of West Bengal, where an eight-phase assembly election is underway, soared to 6,59,927 as the state registered its highest single-day spike of 8,419 fresh infections on Sunday
