Mamata's behaviour "abnormal and bizarre", will send 'get well soon' cards to her: Babul Supriyo

The West Bengal CM has lost her cool twice in the past few weeks over people chanting 'Jai Shri Ram' at a few places in the state, as her motorcade passed through those area.

New Delhi: Reacting to the incident of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee losing her cool at “Jai Shri Ram” slogan, Union minister Babul Supriyo termed the TMC Supremo’s behaviour as “abnormal and bizarre” and said that she is rattled by the BJP’s presence in Bengal. “She is an experienced politician but her behavior is abnormal and bizarre. She should keep in mind the dignity of the post she holds. She should take a break for a few days. She's rattled by BJP's presence in Bengal,” the Asansol MP was quoted as saying by news agency ANI. He said “she is the cause for so many memes on social media, it is not good for anyone.” “From my constituency Asansol, we will send 'Get Well Soon' cards to Mamata Banerjee. Something is definitely not well with Didi, and she needs to answer that,” he said. The West Bengal CM has lost her cool twice in the past few weeks over people chanting 'Jai Sri Ram' at a few places in the state, as her motorcade passed through those area. Banerjee on Sunday alleged that the BJP was mixing religion with politics by repeatedly using the 'Jai Sri Ram' phrase. "Jai Sia Ram, Jai Ram ji ki, Ram naam Satya hai etc have religious and social connotations. We respect these sentiments. But BJP is using religious slogan Jai Sri Ram as their party slogan in a misconceived manner by way of mixing religion with politics (sic)," she said in a Facebook post. Banerjee said she had no problem regarding any particular slogan being used in political rallies or events of a party. "We do not respect this forcible enforcement of political slogans on others...," she said. The Trinamool Congress supremo also said attempts were being made to propagate the ideology of hatred, which should be opposed. "This is a deliberate attempt to sell hatred ideology through vandalism and violence, which we must oppose together," Banerjee wrote.
