Supreme Court may have handed Mamata Banerjee a setback, but face-off a win-win proposition for TMC, BJP

Firstpost  

There’s a larger political game that plays out far away from summons, petitions, review petitions or court judgments. The Supreme Court has directed Kolkata police commissioner Rajeev Kumar, who previously ignored multiple CBI summons and even went “missing” — causing West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee to apologise before the Election Commission — to appear before the CBI. The central investigative agency moved the apex court against the “non-cooperation” of Mamata government after Bengal police briefly arrested CBI officials who visited Kumar’s residence in Kolkata to question him on Sunday. The three-judge bench of Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi and justices Deepak Gupta and Sanjiv Khanna asked Kolkata’s top police officer to “co-operate” with the CBI probe into the Saradha scam and also issued a notice to West Bengal chief secretary, the DGP, and Kumar in the contempt of court application filed by the CBI. Mamata may have calculated that her victimhood card and street politics will reinforce her cult status in the state, while virulent protestations of “Super Emergency”, “destruction of democracy”, “damage to India’s federal structure and institutions” and wild charges against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah will draw national attention and catapult her onto the big stage where she is competing with other ambitious chieftains for the prime minister’s chair.
