Creating narrative and
ground reality are two equally important things and ‘Didi’ appears to
understood it very well. At least meeting of the WB CM Mamta Banerjee with the
PM Modi and agreeing to meet Amit Shah suggests so. Mamata might have been able
to address a section of her voters in West Bengal but constantly being at the
loggerhead with the Centre did not produce any good to her. In fact, Didi’s one of the
dearest projects lying with the home ministry has been changing name of West Bengal
to Bangla. On the other hand It is believed that the moment name change takes
place memory of partition of Bengals fades away which Sangh Pariwar doesn’t endorse.
This has apparently been the reason that Mamata needs to meet Shah which she
might have agreed reluctantly. But the issue on which Didi
failed to get approval from a leader like Rajnath Singh, getting approval of
Amit Shah will be an onerous task. Let’s see how long this bonhomie continues
as Shah does not give any concession to opposition.
