Kolkata: Temperamental Trinamool Congress leader Sonali Guha on Saturday was censured by her party for calling leader of the opposition Surjya Kanta Mishra, of the CPI-M, as “nine months pregnant”.
As political opponents went all guns blazing against Guha (in pic), the Trinamool rushed to distance itself from the comments.
Party secretary general Partha Chatterjee said the party has censured her.
“Our party does not support her remarks and she has been censured,” Chatterjee, also the state education minister, told media persons.
While addressing a rally of the students’ wings of the Trinamool on Friday, Guha, also the deputy assembly speaker, had even threatened to “pull out the baby” to teach the CPI-M politburo member a lesson.
“Mishra every now and then caresses his stomach as if he is nine months pregnant. Seeing him, it seems he wants to be careful so as not to trip and fall and harm the baby,” Guha had said about the CPI-M state secretary.
