Well, enough is enough.. It's an accident, it's a disaster, dats all... People speak as if Mamata didi has conspired against her own customers (okie, passengers). People, from their dusted memories, recollect Lal Bahadur Shastri's resignation in 1956 following a train accident that killed around 150 passengers near Ariyalur in Tamil Nadu and demand Mamata didi to do the same. An interview (of course, imaginary) with didi and here we go.
Reporter: ma’m people quote history and demand your resignation. What’s your take on it?
Mamata: I too know history. I too have read about Nero, Louis XIV, etc.
R: There is an accusation that you hardly visit New Delhi’s Rail Bhavan and you are often seen in Bengal?
M: Home is where heart is.
R(taken aback): Ma’m we found out that as many as 20,000 posts lined to railway safety lie vacant.
M: Just now an accident occurred. We are speaking to the victims’ relatives. The more train accidents and casualties, the more the rate of compensation and job disbursement. So, we will be able to fill these 20000 vacancies soon, I think. My aim is to create a super-rich class of Railway employees in the society.
Reporter goes speechless and faints.
