After losing the elections by a massive margin, Mamata Banerjee had already lost her political footing. Now, with TMC leaders openly rebelling against the party and resignations pouring in from across the state, Mamata Banerjee’s worst nightmare, the “annihilation of the TMC”, appears to be becoming a reality. As... the party continues to crumble, so too, it seems, do her composure, basic courtesy, and sense of decency. After almost a month of silence, Mamata Banerjee today staged a public sit-in protest over the dubious allegations of post-poll violence against TMC leaders. As painful as it must have been for her to witness the presence of only a handful of MLAs and MPs at her political charade, what proved even more disgraceful was the shocking level of disrespect displayed towards the Father of the Indian Constitution, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. Before commencing the protest, Mamata Banerjee and her loyalists paid floral tributes at Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s statue on Mayo Road. However, one must now ask whether it was truly a tribute or an outright insult to the architect of the Constitution, as neither Mamata Banerjee nor her loyalists considered it necessary to remove their shoes before offering their respects. The same Mamata Banerjee who has repeatedly invoked Dr. Ambedkar’s name and legacy to serve her political narratives showed not an ounce of humility or shame while literally tossing floral tributes at his statue without even removing her beloved sandals. If this is her idea of paying respect to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, it raises a serious question: Does Mamata Banerjee genuinely revere the Father of the Constitution, or does she merely use his name when it suits her politics?show more
