'More Important Than Politicians': Mamata's Fresh Jibe At Amit Shah Over Son's ICC Chairmanship
The Bengal CM's sarcastic jibe came as a response to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders who often taunt her and her nephew, Abhishek Banerjee, of nepotism under the "Pishi-Bhaipo" (aunt-nephew) nexus.
Taking it to X, Mamata said “Congratulations, Union home minister (Amit Shah) !! Your son (Jay Shah) has not become a politician, but has become the ICC chairman - a post much much more important than most politicians!!”
The Bengal CM's sarcastic jibe came as a response to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders who often taunt her and her nephew, Abhishek Banerjee, of nepotism under the "Pishi-Bhaipo" (aunt-nephew) nexus.
“Your son has indeed become very very powerful and I congratulate you on his this most elevated achievement,” Banerjee said.
Besides the verbal attack on Amit Shah, Banerjee on Tuesday also accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of using his party to "cause a fire in Bengal" over the RG Kar rape-murder incident.
"If you burn Bengal, other states including Assam, North-East, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha and Delhi too shall burn and your chair will be toppled”, said the Bengal CM.
