It’s an intolerable insult. A crore of rupees was offered for the head of a mere (black, to quote the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Tarun Vijay) “Madrassi”, albeit chief minister of Kerala. Yet West Bengal’s first woman chief minister, an international player, is rated a measly Rs 11 lakh. It’s worse than the sop of a solitary Black Cat while political nobodies strut around surrounded by a dozen sinister-looking, gun-toting commandos. Can any other Indian politician snub a foreign prime minister as Mamata Banerjee did again last week? Can even Narendra Modi, leave alone Kerala’s Pinarayi Vijayan, rock the electoral boat
