Mamata Banerjee is the eighth Chief Minister of the eastern Indian state of West Bengal and the first woman to hold this office. She founded the Trinamool Congress in 1998 after splitting from the Indian National Congress and has represented the Bhabanipur constituency in the state assembly since 2011.
When Mamata Banerjee first joined the Congress (I) in the 1970s, she rose to be the General Secretary of the State Mahila Congress (I) from 1976 to 1980. She has previously served as an MP for Kolkata South in the Lok Sabha and was the Union Minister of State for Human Resources Development, Youth Affairs and Sports, and Women and Child Development under the P.V. Narasimha Rao government.
One of the defining moments in Mamata Banerjee’s political career was her involvement in the Singur and Nandigram movements. These movements — centered around land acquisition issues, particularly the acquisition of agricultural land for industrial projects — saw her rise as a leader and advocate for the rights of farmers and local communities in Bengal’s Singur and Nandigram districts. She received widespread support, eventually leading to the downfall of the 34-year-old Left Front government in West Bengal and her ascent to power.
Mamata “DIDI” has always got to hate someone and keep pouring venom on them. Now, she has just substituted the Governor for Modi, as she found Modi too hot to attack, and it boomeranged on her. This is easier, that’s all.
This news is meat for the media,Similar media reports are seen in case of Union Territory of Pondicherry also..
The Media are detailing the interface issues which conveys one way or other, leading to political
interpretation of one kind or the other ,The political parties may not be intending-the same,
The media can play an effective role if it can effectively portray what are the conventional,protocol or other
constitutional provisions which are involved in the interface issues,
Media should equip itself for such conflicting issues ,which are normal for a growing democratic Nation as ours.
It would be in CM Mamata Banerjee’s own interest to accord the office the honour and respect it deserves. Raj Bhavans are sadly no longer neutral umpires, but the political battles can be fought elsewhere. In small matters like making the state government helicopter available, there should be no small heartedness. Bengal’s Governors were once Governor General and Viceroy.
