How come suddenly Mamata Didi thought of her Brahmin roots?

Kolkata, March 10: Well, whatever PM Modi has done or not done is debated critically and extensively, but what he has done for sure is made people proudly declare their Hindu roots, even Brahmin roots including jeneudhari before Wayanad! So, Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday came down heavily on BJP alleging their attempt to divide Hindu voters and said those playing divisive politics based on religion should be given a befitting reply in the upcoming assembly polls from Nandigram.

 

Mamata Banerjee accused BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari of playing the Hindu-Muslim card and said that she told him not to teach Hindu dharma as she belonged from a Brahmin family, “I would like to tell him that I belong to a Brahmin family and he should not play the religion card with me. Don’t teach Hindu dharma to me,” she said.

 

 

 

Addressing a booth-level TMC workers in a veiled attack against TMC turncoat and BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, Banerjee said, “It is not that easy to divide people based on 70:30 (Hindu and Muslim vote share) ratio. For us, all are equal. We don’t differentiate people based on calculation and religion.”

 

Banerjee, a day ahead of filing her nomination for the seat, said she decided to fight from Nandigram due to people’s response, “I had made up my mind that I will contest from either Singur or Nandigram this time,” While chanting the ‘Chandipath’ the TMC supremo said, “If you don’t want me to file the nomination, I will not, but if you consider me your daughter then I will move ahead with filing my nomination.”

 

 

 

Intensifying her attack on Adhikari, she accused him of abandoning the people of Nandigram. “When I came here last time, the MLA from this constituency had resigned. He stepped down from his position. He ditched the people here. The BJP wants to divide us in the name of Hindu-Muslim. I will not allow such dirty politics here in Bengal. Nandigram is like my eyes. I can forget my name but I cannot forget Nandigram,” she said flagrantly.

 

 

Banerjees are from the ancient Sandilya Gotra, which means all Banerjees are descended from Kannauj from the ancient sage Sandilya as per the Puranas. Together with Mukherjees, Chatterjees, Bhattacharjees and Gangulys, Banerjees form the Kulin Brahmins, the highest tier of the Bengali caste system. Banerjee or Bandyopadhyay is a surname of Brahmins originating from the Bengal region of the Indian subcontinent. Its variants include Bannerjee, Banerji, Banerjea, Banerjie, Bonnerjee, and Bandopadhyaya.

 

 

Earlier, during elections in Wayanad, Congresses Rahul Gandhi had declared himself a Janeu dhari Brahmin and as estimated the intelligent voters hammered him badly. Now when Mamata Banerjee has declared that she is a Hindu and goes on a temple run. Will even she will be hammered, more pathetically than Rahul Gandhi is what is to be seen!
