POLITICS // West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee walked out of an interactive television show hosted by a famous media house, after losing her cool when students of Calcutta, Presidency and Jadavpur universities asked her questions on democracy and administration under the Trinamool government. Some questions were about the arrest of Professor Ambikesh Mahapatra (Jadavpur University) over an alleged ‘anti-Mamata’ cartoon. “It is not a cartoon... He is a CPM man. He misused the email of his society people with their consent,” said an angry Banerjee. She claimed that the cartoon which contained the word ‘vanish’ was a murder conspiracy supported by the CPM. “It is not a cartoon, it is a political conspiracy to murder me,” claimed Banerjee. Banerjee then went on to label the students “Maoists”. When the show’s moderator and a student of Presidency University asked her about the recent spate of crimes against women, Banerjee dismissed the question. “No crime. No crime against women.” Later in the show Banerjee said the students were CPM cadres.
