Monobina Gupta, Managing Editor of The Wire, has exclusively written a piece assessing the possibility of linguistic 'Bangla nationalism' the key driver leading to the creation of Bangladesh, as a counter to what she calls 'Hindi-Hindu nationalism'.
Mamata Banerjee claiming to be more Hindu than Modi is in itself a huge win for Modi & Shah as they have forced her to fight them on the terms that they wanted and she clearly feels that her minority appeasement in the last 8 years is now coming back to haunt her.
To challenge the present West Bengal CM and her candidates in an election is a crime. The legal state machinery and the parallel illegal syndicate (goonda) bahini will ensure that your endeavor is broken to pieces and your image is brought to the ground.
The question is not why Mamata Banerjee is doing this, the question is how dare she support corruption so openly and in such a brazen manner and still expect to win elections.
