@sagarikaghose:
Sagarika Ghose, please spare us the sanctimonious sermon.
You slithered into public life on a silver platter handed to you by Mamata Banerjee when she nominated you to the Rajya Sabha. Your entire so-called “career” in politics is nothing but a pathetic handout, courtesy of one single phone call from Mamata Di. You are personally,
embarrassingly obliged to her. Your public life? It exists solely because of her benevolence. You have done absolutely nothing for Bengal. You have never lived a single day in Bengal. For all we know, your “entry” was exactly that, a cosy little phone call from Didi.
So get the hell off that high moral horse you’re prancing on, you nominated nobody.
Those who have actually contested elections, those who have sweated it out door-to-door, faced the voters, and won their seats the hard way, know the real public mood of Bengal far better than a Rajya Sabha parachute ever will. That mood is the boiling anger built up over years of Mamata’s anarchic, family-run mafia rule and her darling bhaipo’s antics. Bengal is exhausted, disgusted, and finished with their toxic communal politics and shameless minority appeasement.
If these leaders are finally aligning themselves with the thunderous public verdict delivered in the last election, they are not “traitors”. They are doing what real politicians do: listening to the people who elected them. Their standing in public life was earned in the trenches, not gifted through a phone call nominating them to the Rajya Sabha like some entitled freeloader.
You, meanwhile, sit pretty on your unelected perch, lecturing everyone about “loyalty” and “convictions” while you yourself are the walking definition of purchased loyalty. The hypocrisy is not just breathtaking , it is downright disgusting.
SHAME on you.
