New Delhi:
Controversial writer of Bangladeshi origin Taslima Nasreen on Friday posted sarcastic tweets on the dismal performance of West Bengal's Left Front in the assembly elections and asked how Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee was losing office even after throwing her out of the state "to get Muslim votes".
"How come Buddhadeb Bhattacharya is losing! He threw me out of West Bengal to get Muslim-votes! Ah, still a nightmare! (sic)," Nasreen tweeted.
Nasreen shot to fame with her controversial book "Lajja" and has been the target of Islamic fundamentalists. She has been in exile since 1994.
During her exile, she has lived in various countries, including France, Sweden and India - in Kolkata. However, she was dramatically bundled out of West Bengal in 2007. Despite her wish to return to the state, the Left government did not pay any heed to her request.
Commenting on the change of tide in the state after 34 years, the writer said: "If real 'change' does not happen, 'change' will be nothing but big bullies, a mere change of the ruler!"
"Jara aj lafacche, tarai abar 5 bochor por CPM ke vote debe na to!! (Those who are excited now, will they vote for the CP-M five years from now?)," she added.
