Bamboos and backsides: Bhadralok's 'shock' at Mamata is sexist, classist

NDTV the other night when asked why the West Bengal was fighting a CBI probe into Saradha tooth and nail when Odisha’s Naveen Patnaik and Assam’s Tarun Gogoiwere not, Trinamool’s Derek O’Brien smiled and said that with all due respect, Naveen Patnaik was Naveen Patnaik and Tarun Gogoi was Tarun Gogoi but Mamata Banerjee was Mamata Banerjee.
Didi just proved him right.
At a meeting in Jalpaiguri, Mamata the Irrepressible wanted to express her annoyance with the CPM for going to Narendra Modi to rake up the Saradha issue. But Mamata Banerjee being Mamata Banerjee she decided to let fly some salty Bengali slang, a far cry from the genteel Rabindrasangeet she has spewing out of her traffic lights.
