What is it with Chief Minister Mamata

Banerjee that she throws a fit one day

claiming she was not allowed to talk to
power at the Centre, but when an
opportunity arises a week later she
ignores a scheduled meeting with Prime
Minister Narendra Modi at her own turf?
And why is the Centre acting like a
crybaby demanding back a toy it had just
gifted due to a perceived slight? How
cruel is it to recall a chief secretary to
Delhi just four days after he was given
extension in service because of his
expertise in managing the pandemic.
Fingers would surely be pointed at the
Modi government for the recall if Bengal’s
Covid count does not go down rapidly in
tandem with other states. This tit-for-tat is
against the federal spirit and could add to
the list of mis-steps by the Centre, as it
blundered its way in managing the
second wave of the pandemic .
