Mamta's Ever-Growing Paranoia

Bangalore: She won a tsunami of a mandate in the last Assembly elections, winning 225 out of 294 seats and made history by breaking the Left fortress that ruled West Bengal for over three decades. However, Mamata Banerjee’s style of running a government has been in news for all the wrong reasons of late. Controversies followed her like her shadow and her government always had something to offer for her opponents to throw stones at her.

Now, nearing a year in office, Mamta seems to be lost and confused, sans her natural modesty and political intelligence. She seems to be smelling conspiracies everywhere and appears to be furious and bitter. She sees political campaigns behind each controversy in West Bengal, even at the half a dozen back-to-back rapes in the state. Here is a look at some of her or her party’s actions with which she earned the dubious title of - head of a “fascist” government.

Asks Facebook to Delete Anti-Mamata Pics

Days after a cartoon of Mamata Banerjee did the rounds, Trinamool Congress supremo now seems to have taken offence to some of her pictures posted on the social networking site Facebook.

According to reports, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of West Bengal has written to Facebook authorities in the U.S. requesting them to remove “malicious web contents” against Mamata Banerjee and Union Railway Minister Mukul Roy.

The CID said they would also try to locate the IP address from where the actual pictures were posted against Banerjee and Roy.
