Abhishek Banerjee took nearly seven hours to reach Nandigram despite having thousands of people behind him and other people observing him on the way. Around 2:00 PM, the parade had started. The Trinamool leader challenged Suvendu Adhikari to make such a walk, saying: "Despite the sweltering heat, I walked. But I doubt if the traitor (Adhikari) would be able to do that."
