When the august House convened on Friday, the BJP’s 70-plus members moved heaven and earth to make their presence felt and ended up stealing the governor’s 15 minutes of fame. Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar was unable to fully read out his address because of protests from the Opposition benches. Dhankhar spent barely eight minutes inside the House after his ceremonial entry — escorted by Speaker Biman Banerjee and chief minister Mamata Banerjee — around 1.58pm. When he rose to…

editor0 CommentsPoliticalCM, Prime Minister Narendra Modi

Politics is, without a doubt, a bitter-sweet experience. And parties have long exploited the mango season to try to sweeten their ties. Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi fought a fierce war for Bengal. Even after Mamata was sworn in as Chief Minister, the squabbles between the state and the federal government continued. But when mango season arrived, she was quick to extend her seasonal greetings to New Delhi. Last Monday, Mamata sent Bengal's best mango types to Modi Himsagar, Malda, and Lakshmanbhog.

RJD's decision has assumed more political significane now…
