Mamata’s ‘Moral Protest’ Or Open Defiance? Faizan Kidwai Vs Gaurav Bhatia On Bengal Crisis
In a fiery face-off, SP’s Faizan Kidwai hits out at the BJP over post-poll violence and past governor “misuse” in Karnataka and Maharashtra, even as he backs Mamata Banerjee’s refusal to resign as Bengal CM as a “constitutional protest”. BJP’s Gaurav Bhatia counters with Articles 164 and 172, calling Mamata an “anarchist” attempting to mutilate the Constitution by clinging to power after a clear defeat and branding this the “darkest day of democracy”. As charges of “gundaism” and “loot of votes” fly, the big question: can street politics override a constitutional mandate?
