She badly needs a communications team.
This is the actual episode where she storms out.

She can't even handle a question from students and she is in the top 100 most powerful people in the world as per Time. What an irony. Makes me question the whole list. And she represent just 1 state within India - Maybe the coalition pressure she applies on the central government makes her powerful? But by that same token, Karunanidhi should be in the list as well.

Sorry Ma’am, but I am not a Maoist
- Open letter to chief minister


Question Time Didi, organised by CNN-IBN at the Town Hall on Friday evening, was meant to be a platform for Mamata Banerjee to field questions from a cross-section of Calcuttans on the eve of her completing one year as chief minister. But less than 12 minutes and five questions into the event, Mamata stormed off, accusing some students of being “Maoists and CPM cadres”.

Taniya Bhardwaj, a Presidency University student whose question about the conduct of some of her ministers prompted Mamata to take off her lapel microphone and leave, writes a letter to her chief minister via The Telegraph:

Sorry Ma’am, but I am not a Maoist.

That is what you, the most important person in Bengal, labelled me at the CNN-IBN question-answer session on Friday at the Town Hall.

What exactly did I do to deserve this honour? I just asked you a question.

I had gone to the Town Hall on Friday just over a year after attending the CNN-IBN Battle for Bengal panel discussion at the same venue on April 21, 2011, and then a few days later, voting for change.

This is what I had written on April 28, 2011, in The Telegraph: “Changeathon 2011 is the most anticipated in recent history…. What makes it particularly exciting is the prospect of a revamped Calcutta ‘in 200 days’, the large number of fresh faces contesting the elections, the renewed hope for industrialisation…. I will vote with my fingers crossed — hoping for paribartan in the truest sense. And when I head to the polling booth, it won’t merely be a voting room, but more like a ‘changing room’.”

I had also written: “We want change, but are scared that we will move from a frying pan to a burning stove. Call me a sceptic, but I don’t see either political party as a positive alternative for Bengal.”

Sadly, a year later, you have proved — on national television — how right I was.

What did I do to earn the label of a Maoist and a CPM cadre from you?

I merely asked you whether affiliates of your party, specifically minister Madan Mitra and Arabul Islam, who wield power should act/should have acted more responsibly.

I, like many others, was greatly disturbed when Madan Mitra pronounced his own judgement on a rape victim before the police were done investigating. The Arabul Islam case, of course, is still making headlines.

I asked you what had been on the minds of most people around me, people who had voted for paribartan. Is this what we expect of our leaders? The ones who set examples and who people follow. This is all that I wanted to know.

What I got to know, instead, was that in Bengal today, asking a question can be equivalent to a Maoist act.

You also spoke of democracy. The answers you gave to the questions you took before mine were sprinkled with words like “people”, “democracy”, “Bengal”. But one of the most important features of a true democracy, which I have learnt as a student of political science, is the freedom of expression. This freedom means to be able to express oneself, to be able to question, to not have to mince words out of fear of authority, to be able to enjoy a chuckle or two at a cartoon about important public figures.

Sadly, there seems to have been a dramatic failure of this aspect of the democratic machinery in the state. And just like I won’t become a Maoist simply because you called me one, the state too won’t epitomise democracy unless it is truly democratic in all spheres.

All said and done, what you did was in haste, and it made me the centre of attention. And as you stomped off in fury, you automatically assumed the role of the spoilsport. Had you stayed on and heard us out, many of us would have left the Town Hall honestly believing that you are “a Chief Minister with a Difference’’. Instead….

You have spoken of the brain drain from Bengal so many times. I hold offers from the University College London and the School of Oriental and African Studies to study development and administration. I too will probably leave, and now you know the reason why.

Sorry Ma’am, but I am not a Maoist

Now I am curious to see how this stupid lady is going to respond to this student's letter.

Didi unleashes cops on students

Next time you get a chance to ask West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee a question or criticise any of her moves, think twice as you could be labelled a Maoist sympathiser or a CPM cadre.
Taniya Bhardwaj, a student of political science at Kolkata's Presidency College, dared to do as much on a TV news channel's show on Friday at the Town Hall here.
She asked a simple question about the conduct of state ministers and officials over crimes against women.
A furious Mamata labelled Taniya a 'Maoist and a CPM cadre' and asked the police to do a background check on those asking awkward questions.
Taniya is now quite apprehensive about the consequences as the Kolkata police have already started collecting information about the students who asked Banerjee uncomfortable questions on the show.
'Have I done anything wrong? I just asked a simple question. She could have avoided the question easily. But she started castigating the audience instead,' Taniya said.
Immediately after the show was recorded on Friday evening, some officers of the state police's special branch descended on the TV channel's office in Kolkata and demanded that the contact details of the participants be handed over.

The channel executives, of course, did not oblige. Within 24 hours, they were back with the same demand. The channel again refused.

Soon afterwards, around 1 pm on Saturday, the channel complained to the chief minister's office. 'They have not come back in the last 24 hours,' a channel executive said

Kolkata Police joint commissioner (intelligence) Partha Sarathi Ghosh, however, said no such enquiry had been made by the police.
'They were in touch with us while making arrangements for the show. As it got over before the actual schedule (as the CM walked off the show) we called them asking the reason. That is it,' Ghosh said.
On the show, Mamata also questioned why the audience only comprised students of By Soudhriti Bhabani in Kolkata Jadavpur University.
Sohail Abdi, a second-year student of history at Presidency College who was also present on the TV show, said Mamata was 'undemocratic'.
He added that there was no freedom of expression in West Bengal.
Another third-year political science student of Jadavpur University, Shashank Shah, said Mamata's reaction was nothing but a manifestation of her insecurity as a politician.
The CM lost her cool when members in the audience questioned her on the arrest of Jadavpur University professor Ambikesh Mahapatra and the increased attacks on women in the state.

CPI(M), Maoists plotting to kill me with foreign help: Mamata Banerjee

Targeting her Marxist opponents again, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee alleged that CPI(M) was plotting with Maoists to kill her with the help of Pakistan's ISI and financed by North Korea, Venezuela and Hungary.

CPI(M) dismissed the allegation as "ridiculous" and said the party will examine whether it merited a defamation suit against the firebrand Trinamool Congress supremo.

Mamata launched the fresh tirade against her arch rival when she spoke about conspiracy theories after she was asked about the arrest of a Jadavpur University professor over his cartoon for poking fun at her.

Asked about the cartoon by Washington Post for an article on her in the US daily, Mamata launched into a tirade about how her Marxist political opponents were plotting with the Maoist rebels to discredit and kill her, in league with Pakistan's intelligence agency and financed by North Korea, Venezuela and Hungary.

"They have given me the death sentence, and every day they are spreading this superimposed photo, on Facebook, on Internet or in the e-mail, through some false, camouflaged name," she said.

Rejecting the allegation, CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury said there cannot be anything more ridiculous than Mamata naming his party, Maoists, Venezuela, Hungary and North Korea as a "grand coalition and axis of the evil" and giving such a statement to the international media.

"We will examine whether it merits defamation," he told reporters.

West Bengal Urban Development Minister Farhad Hakim defended Mamata's comments, alleging that the Maoists and the CPI(M) want to take the life of the chief minister.

"The Maoists and the CPM are against her life, it is known to everyone. And they want to kill the democracy, kill the progress," he said in Kolkata.

Hakim did not want to go into details into the allegation that the CPI(M) and the Maoists are receiving funds for their campaign. He, however, said there is some funding to these organisations.

The US daily in its article also called Mamata the biggest obstacle to liberalisation in India.
