Exclusive: Mamata Banerjee gets certificate from Amartya Sen, calls CM ‘patriot’ Nobel winner IG News

Calcutta: Can Mamata Banerjee be the Prime Minister? Nobel laureate economist Amartya Sen did not deny that claim on Tuesday. On Tuesday, he explained that Mamata Banerjee’s name will be discussed as an alternative to Narendra Modi in national politics in the coming days. Amartya Sen also addressed Mamata Banerjee as “patriot”. When asked about this, Nobel-winning economist Amartya Sen said, “I don’t know if Mamata Banerjee is an alternative to Narendra Modi. She is a great national leader. I don’t see anything surprising that Mamata Banerjee’s name will come up when there is a discussion about who will succeed Narendra Modi. Think about it.” There must be a reason.”

Amartya Sen also said “Narendra Modi is surely the most powerful political leader now. If there are many faults and mistakes in his leadership, then surely there is something to think about. Then we have to think about who will be the leader of the country. Then the name of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will surely come up. Some others Names will emerge. But it will not be easy to calculate how far they can go. It will be judged in terms of the power of Mamata Banerjee’s political leadership.” In recent times, starting from demonetisation, several issues of the central government have been repeatedly criticized by Nobel-winning economist Amartya Sen. Amartya Sen is also seen to be concerned with the central government’s financial policy.

In view of this, some BJP leaders were also seen protesting against Amartya Sen. Economist Amartya Sen also gave Daraj certificate to Mamata Banerjee at a function in Delhi recently. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee visited Amartya Sen’s house last Monday. Visva Bharati has assured the economist that the state government is with Nobel laureate economist Amartya Sen on the land dispute. Not only that, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee also handed over the land documents in detail to the Nobel-winning economist. Nobel-winning economist Mamata Banerjee’s comments on Tuesday are expected to be politically significant. There is no doubt that the role of Mamata Banerjee is going to be more important in the context of national politics in the coming days, especially as she is addressed as a national leader.
