This is a measured act by the chief minister with her like-it-or-lump-it move for Congress. Congress leader Adhir Chowdhury with two state ministers Manoj Chakrabarty and Abu Hena criticized the chief minister during the spat over renaming Indira Bhawan.
Chakrabarty turned furious and accused Mamata Banerjee of aiming his since he managed to win from Murshidabad. Chakrabarty also accused Manas Bhunia, the former PCC chief, of playing a double role.
