Mamata loses cool as audience shouts demand

- ARITRA SINGHA /

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee got angry with the crowd as a few among the audience urged for more developmen­tal works in the state.

“The BJP purposely plants people to disrupt my rallies. The dates of the election will be announced in a couple of days. Now, I cannot do so many things and for that if a section of people doesn’t want to vote for TMC, I am not bothered,” mentioned the angry chief minister.

Her nephew Abhishek, however, was seen pacifying the crowd saying all the demands will be met after the chief minister’s speech. Incidental­ly, something similar had happened at the chief minister’s rally in Purulia last month, where a section of people started shouting their demands as soon as Mamata Banerjee started her speech. Taking a jibe at the BJP, Abhishek said the party is playing ‘ communal’ politics and is not worried about the ‘well-being’ of the people.
