Summary:
Kolkata: A West Bengal Civil Service executive has courted controversy by comparing Swami Vivekananda with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, saying that he gets recharged and derives strength when he stands before the photographs of either of them. Speaking at a relief distribution programme in North 24 Parganas district, Hasnabad Block Development Officer (BDO) Arindam Mukherjee made the remarks by pointing at Banerjee's photograph on the stage. "You see this photograph of madam...
if you stand before it for two minutes every morning, you will get some peculiar strength. I myself stand before two photos, one of Swami Vivekananda, the other of madam. "Why aren't they coming out holding the flag of the Trinamool when they are actually working for the party?.
