CM REFUSES TO BUDGE FROM HER CHAIR

CM REFUSES TO BUDGE FROM HER CHAIR

A strange situation. The Chief Minister refuses to resign after suffering a massive defeat. Electoral politics at its nadir as the CM accuses the Election Commission of facilitating a rigged election. Mamata Bannerjee claims victory for her party despite its massive defeat. This is inexplicable and utterly irresponsible unconstitutional behaviour on the part of an electorally ousted Chief Minister through legitimate election. 

Mamata seems to be headed towards street agitation again, the kind of politics she is used to, that which catapulted her to power in 2011 and which she in her dire despair is projecting as her strategy next to win back public sympathy she has lost completely on account of her reign of terror, tyranny, corruption and crime which evicted her from office. But the glue of the chair seems to be strong and will not let her budge. A strange predicament! What the Governor does next is to be seen.
