"Casual Act, You Would Not Know If Rahul Gandhi Had Not Recorded Video": Mamata Banerjee On Jagdeep Dhankhar Mimicry Row

While Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee, currently in Delhi, declined to comment elaborately on Kalyan Banerjee mimicking Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar, she indirectly blamed Rahul Gandhi for bringing the act to light.

Talking to reporters, Banerjee said, "We respect everyone. There is nothing like disrespect. This was a casual political act. You would not have even known about the incident if Rahul ji had not recorded a video."

"They are enough to reply the question. There is a system," the West Bengal Chief Minister said suggesting reporters inquire with Derek O'Brien or Sudip Bandyopadhyay for a response.

Banerjee also acknowledged that during the INDI Alliance meeting yesterday, she had proposed Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge's name for opposition's PM face and Arvind Kejriwal supported it.
