Economist Amartya Sen’s recent comment that Mamata Banerjee’s qualities to achieve the chair of the prime minister are unquestionable has irked the state leaderships of all the opposition parties. Besides the BJP and Congress, even the CPI(M) leadership, who feel mentally aligned with Sen’s social economics theories, has objected to the Nobel laureate’s observations about the West Bengal chief minister.
Reminding that Sen has also expressed doubts on how far Banerjee will be able to unite the opposition against the BJP, CPI(M)’s central committee member Sujan Chakraborty said that it seems that Sen made this comment based on some superficial observation. “It is true that the opposition parties in the country will have to be united against the BJP. But it seems that what probably escaped Sen’s observations is that Mamata Banerjee is being used as a tool by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to crack the Opposition unity,” he said.
