We need you,” posted Indrani Mukherjee. Another member Souvick Ghosh wrote: “Didi, lead West Bengal to the days of pride and glory... We salute you for your uncompromising battle with the evil power... We are all with you.”<br /><br />“Didi, you are there that is why I am confident that Bengal will be saved,” posted Soumya Mukherjee. The fan pages also have albums capturing Mamata Banerjee in her various moods.<br /><br />Members have spirited discussions on the upcoming April-May elections, and share their views on issues like Trinamool's proposed alliance with Congress and the Jan 7 killings in Netai, near the Maoist stronghold of Lalgarh, where nine people were killed allegedly by assailants backed by the ruling Marxists.<br /><br />In one such discussion on ‘Seat Sharing with Congress’, Shantanu Roy posted: “It looks like this time, Trinamool will have to make sacrifices like Sita." “Cadres of CPI-M (Communist Party of India-Marxist) are using Facebook as their party's media... they are always discussing against Mamata Banerjee... the people who love Mamata should combat this and write against the misrule of the government," posted Gautam Burman, a fan page member.</p>
