A 23-second video showing Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee taking strong objection to some villagers in West Midnapore district chanting ‘Jai Shriram’ along a highway on Saturday afternoon went viral by evening. Alok Rajoria, district superintendent of police, said they were charged with insulting the chief minister. “She (Banerjee) feels that the words Jai Shriram are an insult but recites wrong mantras (Sanskrit scripts offered to Hindu gods) wherever she goes. Why is she so scared of Jai Shriram? Ghosh, once a close aide of the chief minister, resigned in 2017, after she was transferred out of West Midnapore.
