Mamata Banerjee says critics like 'barking dogs'; Left outraged
The outspoken Mamata Banerjee is courting controversy again, this time likening her critics to "barking dogs". What caused Ms Banerjee to flare up was the mention of a letter that Press Council of India chairman Markandey Katju wrote her, suggesting she would lose power if she did not change. The letter said she was "intolerant and whimsical". The West Bengal Chief Minister denied having received the letter, but said, "I cannot comment on any particular person. I am only concerned about this government and whether it is working legally or not, a government which is very humane. It is not a demonic government. The government will not function according to some people's wishes or control."
