Mamata Banerjee meets out-of-work comedians and random actors in Mumbai

Mamata Banerjee is on a tour of Incredible India. No, she is just not selling tourism, however making an attempt to painting herself as a nationwide chief, discover alliances and make political mates, who will assist her change into the face of the opposition.
In the run-up to the 2019 elections too, Mamata Banerjee had visited a number of states. She had met Uddhav Thackeray in Mumbai in late 2017. She had even remembered to pay respects to Balasaheb a couple of weeks later. She had met Sharad Pawar in Delhi, in March 2018 the place they made large statements about making an anti-BJP coalition. She had additionally met Naveen Patnaik in Odisha and attended HD Kumaraswamy’s much-hyped swearing-in ceremony in Bengaluru that 12 months. No coalition occurred. None of these leaders introduced Mamata Banerjee because the face of the United Opposition, worse, no one even introduced United Opposition. It remained a media dream.
There was additionally a mega rally at Kolkata’s brigade floor earlier than the 2019 basic elections, the place lots of the opposition leaders had joined, signally very heavy ‘United Opposition’ vibes. But nothing a lot occurred after that too, sadly.

This time, the identical makes an attempt are taking a barely totally different flip. Swara Bhaskar has apparently appointed herself because the announcer in Mamata Banerjee’s Duarbaar in Mumbai. She was seen earlier at present introducing the Bengal CM to the comedians who have been kicked out of gigs over the latest months for varied fiascos and have collectively blamed all of it on BJP and RSS, like Rahul Gandhi and Imran Khan do, nearly each week.

Swara posed herself as a humble TMC worker with a recent supply letter and launched Mamata Banerjee to aspirants lining up for the HR spherical one after the other. She pointed in direction of Munawar Faruqui, Agrima Joshua and a few others like Aditi Mittal and claimed they’re “risking their lives and careers” for the sake of telling tales. She even gave the instance of Meryl Streep, who had apparently stood earlier than the president-elect of her nation and ‘not a hair on her head’ was harmed.
That is bizarre as a result of all these folks, together with Mamata, Sonia, Rahul, and their minions like Swara, together with all these so-called ‘comedians’ have been criticising the democratically elected PM of the nation day in and day trip, and never a hair on their heads have been harmed both. Heads are eliminated for various causes and by a distinct set of individuals internationally. But folks like Swara insist that that has nothing to do with faith.
It is a wierd irony that these so-called ‘comedians’ don’t ever dare to query the ‘Sar Tan Se Juda’ folks. The staff of Charlie Hebdo workplace who received slaughtered of their workplace, Kamlesh Tiwari who had his throat slit inside his personal home, or poor Lakhbir Singh who received dismembered and hanged from a steel barricade won’t be hailed as victims by these ‘liberal’ comedians and entertainers, as a result of that takes precise braveness. Criticising a tolerant, liberal (the true form) and democratic authorities is simple, and these folks do loads of that.
Irony of ironies
So-called comedians and actors who declare victimhood after their gigs get cancelled, or their films flop, lining earlier than Mamata Banerjee and hailing her as some kind of democracy-saver might be the perfect ‘act’ they may ever carry out, one that’s really hilarious, not like their pathetic jokes.
Swara claimed the folks she introduced earlier than Mamata are actually ‘unemployable’, however how is that Modiji’s fault? Can or not it’s due to the truth that they’re actually pathetic, perhaps their jokes don’t make folks snigger? In the age of OTT, why would any sane individual spend cash to look at unfunny folks make nonsensical statements insisting they’re telling jokes and asserting that the general public is morally obligated to pay them?
It is similar Mamata Banerjee whose authorities had hounded Ambikesh Mahapatra for years, a Jadavpur University professor who had shared a cartoon of Mamata Banerjee. The similar Mamata who had jailed Priyanka Sharma, for sharing a meme that was neither offensive nor abusive. The similar Mamata, whose celebration is behind the worst political violence lately.
Munawar Faruqui and his ‘liberal’ mates are going round claiming his reveals are getting cancelled as a result of he’s a Muslim, which is laughable in a rustic that has the Khans ruling Bollywood for many years. Agrima Joshua needed to apologise to MNS staff after her remarks over Shivaji Maharaj have been criticised. Nobody has ever executed something to Richa Chadha or Kubra Sait, most individuals don’t even know who they’re. Social media trolling is just not the identical as getting beheaded or getting gunned down by terrorists in your workplace due to a cartoon. Yeah, that’s the fact. cope with it.
What subsequent? The large comedy pageant in Kolkata?
It is just not understood what precisely Mamata Banerjee is making an attempt to realize by having these comedians and entertainers dance round her. They are undoubtedly not helpful politically, as a result of everyone knows how spectacularly Kanhaiya Kumar carried out within the Begusarai seat after Swara, Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi campaigned for him within the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. For those that don’t know, he misplaced by over 4 lakh 22 thousand votes.
Are Agrima Joshua, Faruqui and so on going to carry out in Kolkata subsequent? Is Mamata Banerjee going to incorporate rise up reveals by these folks within the state authorities’s welfare packages? Or they’ll type a comic political celebration and announce Gathbandhan along with her? Even in the event that they achieve this, Rahul Gandhi is already the shining star in that area. No one is gonna snatch the highest political comic standing from him anytime quickly.
Mamata Banerjee’s political makes an attempt to rally up regional leaders in her help has borne little fruit to this point. Of late, even the Leftist media has joined within the marketing campaign, however there isn’t a sign from 10 Janpath but, and as everyone knows, so long as the Gandhi household is there, they name the photographs.
“Woke, liberal secular comedians who claim to be speaking truth to power line up for a politician who jails people for sharing harmless memes”….It seems like a satire headline, however sadly it isn’t.
