For the previous a number of months, the TMC, significantly below the aegis of well-known quantity cruncher Prashant Kishor has been meticulously working to carve a pro-Hindu picture for itself. Yet, Kishor has not been in a position to eradicate the great hatred which Mamata Banerjee harbours for the mantra of ‘Jai Shri Ram’.With Mamata’s match of raging mood in opposition to praises for Shri Ram, months of TMC’s onerous work to placate Hindus goes down the drain.
