Manoranjan Byapari

A leader of Mamata Banerjee's party in Bengal has provoked a controversy with his anti-Bihar rant at a public meeting.

TMC MLA Manoranjan Byapari on Saturday said his controversial Facebook post in which he had stated he was "feeling suffocated in politics" shouldn't be politicised because it was an "emotional outburst".

He was a rickshaw puller and she was a celebrity author. There was no way Manoranjan Byapari would have met Mahasweta Devi. But destiny willed otherwise.
