This post refers to one of the prominent leaders of our Nation Ms. Mamata Banerjee and her habit of pinning the tag of Maoists on people and storming out of Interviews or rather sending them to jail.
Some days back I was watching an Interview of Ms. Mamata Banerjee in which along with the anchor there were students from colleges of West Bengal who were asking some tough questions. And out of no where Ms. Mamata Banerjee got totally mifffed with the questions and started pinning the tag of being Maoists on those few students who were asking her questions and refused to answer them and then she just stormed out of the interview right in the middle.
And a very similar incident happened today when in a public meeting when a person asked her a tough question about "what is she doing for the farmers ? and the promises have not been fulfilled ?". She immediately got super angry, called the person Maoist and even got him arrested.
I start by clarifying that i don't have anything to do with the Maoist ideology. But my Question is "even if" those people were actually of maoist ideology, being the chief minister of the state more importantly being the chief minister, a public servant of the people of the state it is her responsibility towards anyone and everyone irrespective of any ideology he/she follows.
Even if the above people have been Maoists, it is her responsibility and she is answerable to them. And I saw the interview and can surely say that those students were not causing any disruptions nor were they hostile, they were just asking some honest and tough questions, so one can't blame them for anything.
The Chief Minister of a state is answerable to each and every person of the state, irrespective of their cast, ideology, financial status etc. Our honorable Chief Minister might be doing some wonderful work but such incidents simply diminishes her image and credibility.
These instances looks to me as a total misuse and even arrogance of power and makes a complete mockery of a Democracy which our Nation so proudly is.
