Such was the innovative tweet put out by Surjya Kanta Mishra, leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal assembly and state committee secretary. But all Mr Mishra’s wit did was to make him and his party look comic. It is not funny, of course, that Mr Mishra is suffering from amnesia. It is, after all, a class difference that Mr Mishra is ridiculing, exposing his disdain of a political leader’s background. There are a whole lot of things that the CPI(M) and its leaders could have attacked as Opposition; they must ask themselves why they are reduced to spiteful frothing at the mouth.
