Mamata Triggers Elation in the BJP Camp

[Sukla Sen]

The BJP, as expected, is only elated at the emergence of Mamata as a major disruptive nuisance.

One only hopes that she will come to her senses - aided by other opposition leaders whom she is visiting, before it's too late.

(In recent past, Yashwant Sinha had - in a rather subtle way, been pressed into service; the "subtlety" - so alen to her, must have had been lent by her poll strategist.)

Looks like he has given up.)

Of course, the Goa poll too one may look forward to.

<<After Trinamool Congress decided not to attend the meeting of the opposition parties called by Mallikarjun Kharge of the Congress before the Winter Session of the Parliament, Dilip Ghosh's comment on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee triggered a controversy.

Ghosh said, "Mamata Banerjee is trying to become the leader. The days of Sonia Gandhi are over" [emphasis added].

He went on to say, "Let them decide who will stay with whom. BJP has no interest in this. This is a drama by the opposition".

"Who will call the meeting -- Congress or Trinamool Congress? Which is the main party - the session will be over before they come to any decision," Ghosh added.>>
