After her historic win in West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee visited Congress president Sonia Gandhi at her residence in Delhi on Monday. She was seen smiling broadly as she handed over a bouquet of red roses to Mrs Gandhi. "I have always been very close to Rajiv Gandhi's family... he was very fond of me," Ms Banerjee said when asked about Mrs Gandhi's warm welcome (she was seen putting her arm around Ms Banerjee's shoulder).
