Highlights
- Renowned Bengali filmmaker Gautam Ghose plans to make a documentary on Mamata Banerjee's life.
- He is so impressed by the political leader that he thinks there is no other way in which he can pay a tribute to the woman he admires.
- Ghose struck upon this idea when he saw a video on the West Bengal CM's life, made by a local channel.
- "They had asked me to help assemble the footages and when I went through it, Mamatadi came across as such an interesting character that I decided to make a full blown documentary on her. She is an ordinary person with no political lineage. It is all due to her hard work and down-to-earth attitude that she is where she is today. The educated middle class has a strange snobbery about people like Mamata and I think it is high time they change their attitude," he says.
- On Banerjee's recent victory Ghose adds, "The Left party ruled for 33 years and a single party ruling for such a long time is not good for democracy. They had their own natural decline and no one can deny didi's achievement."
