Didi-O-Didi Remark Unacceptable to Women, They Will Vote for TMC: Mamata’s ‘Best Comrade’

News 18  

A famous boxer in his younger days, 77-year-old Sobhandeb Chattopadhyay is the quintessential bhadralok of Kolkata and a veteran of his party, the Trinamool Congress. Chattopadhyay, who is fighting the elections from south Kolkata’s Bhabanipur in place of incumbent legislator Mamata Banerjee — she has shifted to Nandigram — says the chief minister chose him as her “best comrade” for the seat. Asked about the harsh words, such as daanav and Duryodhan, the CM is using against the PM, Chattopadhyay said they were the “after-effect” of the words the PM was using. The Challenges Bhabanipur is considered a “mini-India” with the constituency housing several Gujarati and Punjabi voters — which many believe could help the Bharatiya Janata Party. Some of the Gujarati voters did object to CM Banerjee criticising the leaders from the western state —PM Modi and Shah — and her comments that she “will not allow Bengal to become another Gujarat”.
