MAMATA BANERJEE HAS BEEN SMART ABOUT |
| |
|
| |
 |
USING FLIP-FLOPS
Only politician on earth to do so. Keeps her rooted. Gives her unbeatable pro-people pedigree. |
|
 |
STEALING MOHUA MOITRA
Poaching Rahul Gandhi’s chosen one had dare. |
|
 |
STICKING TO KOLKATA
A career is made in Kolkata, not with Railway files in Delhi. Politics, not bureaucracy. |
|
 |
KEEPING THE RAILWAY MINISTRY
Can be the biggest employer in the country, stay away from work, and even get to present Budgets. |
|
 |
CHUCKING THE BJP
Among the first to see a post-Vajpayee disaster. |
|
 |
STAYING A STREETFIGHTER
It’s what she is. There’s no other way to fight the CPM. |
|
 |
GETTING PALLY WITH THE MAOISTS
Everyone wants to meet them, but only Mamata gets them to her rallies. |
|
 |
KEEPING RAIL TRAVEL CHEAP
Not a small thing, when you run the world’s biggest railways in one of the poorer nations. |
|
 |
BEING SCANDAL-FREE
Not a single case of corruption against her. Even the CPM grants this. |
|
 |
NOT BUILDING A FAMILY
Nothing to worry about, unlike almost all other parties that are stressed by family greed. |
|
 |
