I don't know who this Mamata Banerjee is - Swati Sengupta, TOI
I don't know this government or this Mamata Banerjee anymore. I have fought along with Mamata. But she is now showing a face I have never seen before. She is behaving like an authoritative, feudal lord. If this goes on, she will rapidly lose her popularity and people will rise up against her.

Verbatim

The UPA 2 government was conceived in corruption – and never really recovered from that taint. Right from the day the election results came in, the back-channel negotiations began for the reappointment of A Raja as Telecom Minister to advance the interests of certain telecom majors (in return for illegal gratification). It was an enterprise which set the stage for India’s biggest corruption scandal and virtually set the political tone for the rest of the four years. As subsequent exposes have established, Manmohan Singh and other key Ministers knew full well that mischief was afoot, but pointedly looked the other way. That was the beginning of the slide, and the UPA government in general – and Manmohan Singh in particular – was mortally wounded from that episode. But rather than press ahead with remedial action, the government slid further into the cesspool of corruption.
