Undoubtedly, media is Didi-friendly and terms this news as a simple blooper. Is it really? One can never be sure when it comes to Mamata didi. After all, she may be entertaining a new political agenda and the map in the news item is a mere slip of the tongue or spilling the beans. May be it is a masterstroke of a combined warning to the Center at Delhi and Left-lead government in Kolkata!
Tarantula, being a serious student of Mamata’s political thoughts, feels that one of the following scenarios is perfectly possible.
One possibility is she is trying to shrink the nation, keeping her Railway network intact. Such an exercise can definitely explain the map. Alternatively, she may be working on a plan to expand the Railway network and relocate the Railway stations suitably. This view can also expain the map. There could be a genuine, albeit temperamental, motive behind throwing Delhi into Pakistan and Kolkata into the Bay of Bengal!
Readers are free to have their own interpretations and decipher the thought process of Didi; if they want to discuss it with her, they can catch the next Duranto.
