Facebook campaign picks Mamata Banerjee For “Bengali Prime Minister”

Supporters of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee launched a social media campaign saying, “Come, let’s make a change… Let’s get a Bengali Prime Minister this time”. This campaign started just hours after Congress President Rahul Gandhi said he was willing to be the Prime Minister of India.

The slogan “Didi for PM” has been growing louder since the last six months, especially during the Gujarat polls after which Rahul Gandhi became the Congress chief.

The FAM page is run by All India Trinamool Congress — AITC supporters — a separate social media page with over 2.5 lakh likes. The page calling for Ms Banerjee for PM has 67,000 likes. A life-size photograph of a smiling Mamata Banerjee above the slogan leaves no room for doubt about who her fans want as a Bengali Prime Minister.

This development is quite surprising as Mamataji’s idea of democracy is mostly like the CPI(M)’s democratic centralism. Anything that is decided by the majority will have to be accepted by the minority even if the majority view is wrong. Mamata’s party has no pluralistic infrastructure at all. She is the all in all there and what she says is the final word.
