NewsX - West Bengal Nandigram Documentary.
  • 5 years ago
Praising Mamata Banerjee for her work for the weaker sections, eminent litterateur Mahasweta Devi today said she would like to see the West Bengal Chief Minister as the country's Prime Minister.

"I have full faith and confidence in her. I want to see her in the seat of power in Delhi. She is probably competent enough to be the Prime Minister," said the writer-activist, who has got a number of awards like Magsaysay, Jnanpith and Padma Vibhushan.

The 88-year-old has a blow-hot, blow-cold relation with Banerjee. Devi supported her during the Singur and Nandigram movements, but when the TMC government came to power in West Bengal, the writer had called the state government "fascist" but retracted later.
