Started her political career in the Congress party, and as a young woman in the 1970s, she quickly rose in
the ranks of the local Congress group, and remained the General Secretary of Mahila Congress. She is our very own “didi”, Mamata
Banerjee. Born on 11th July 1960 she is
the 8th and current Chief Minister of West Bengal. She is the
first woman to hold the office.
Ma
Mati Manush:
Ma Mati Manush was a primarily slogan, coined by All India Trinamool
Congress chief and current chief minister Mamata Banerjee. The term is literally translated as
"Mother, Motherland and People". The slogan became very popular in
West Bengal during 2011 assembly election. Later, Mamata Banerjee wrote a
Bengali book with the same title.
Leader, Politician, Artist:
After being expelled from Congress in West
Bengal, Mamata Banerjee established the All India Trinamool Congress in 1st
Jan 1998. In 2002, Mamata Banerjee
presented her first Railway Budget. In it she fulfilled many of her promises to
her home state West Bengal. She introduced a new daily New Delhi-Sealdah Rajdhani Express train and four express trains connecting various parts of West Bengal namely the Howrah-Purulia Rupasi Bangla Express, Sealdah-New
Jalpaiguri Express,Shalimar-Adra Aranyak Express and the Sealdah-Amritsar Superfast Express (weekly). She also increased the frequency
of the Pune-Howrah Azad Hind Express and extension of at least three express train services.The TMC regime came to power in West Bengal with a promise of
‘Poriborton’ (change) from the policies of state repression and eviction of the
poor pursued by the erstwhile CPIM-LF Government.
The
diverse bouquet of poems and paintings in the new anthology shows how her heart
beats not only for the people of the country but also for the wide expanse of
nature around her the degradation of air, water, trees and fauna move her just
as deeply. Mamata Banerjee discovers the oneness of human beings with nature as
she writes, "Not all tunes can be set to song, not all flowers bloom
fragrant, not all trees bend over with leaves, not every heart has a humane
beat".
Our very own didi is an
artist by birth, she discovered her passion for painting & drawing in the
year 2006. Two of the renowned painters of Bengal - who are diehard Mamata
followers - say there is real art in her work. Suvaparasanna and Jogen
Chowdhury even compared her with Rabindranath Tagore as an unschooled artist.
