KOLKATA: Resurrecting the issue of cartoons lampooning her sent by email by a Jadavapur University professor, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee today claimed it actually contained a message threatening to assassinate her. She also alleged a conspiracy through Facebook, Twitter and SMS and said "I am being shown in Facebook. Now, it is my turn. I will show you Facebook". "Mamata Banerjee is not a cartoon. A section of the media called it a cartoon. But they are wrong. It contained the word 'Vanish', which means a plan to assassinate and kill Mamata Banerjee," the chief minister told a party meeting in reference to the cartoon sent by Prof Ambikesh Mahapatra who was arrested and later released leading to a hue and cry. "Why did the professor use someone else's email to send it? A professor is supposed to guide his students with good advice. If a rickshawalla commits a crime, it will be a criminal act. And if you commit a crime, you are professor. The law applies to all," she said. She also saw a political conspiracy on Facebook, Twitter and through SMS against her. "There is a political conspiracy through Facebook, Twitter and SMS. I am being shown in Facebook. Now, it is my turn. I will show you Facebook," she warned. She also saw a larger conspiracy allegedly by CPM and Maoists. "CPM always provides encouragement. Emails are being sent by ultra-Left backed organisations," she said. :blink::blink::blink::blink::blink::blink::blink::shot:

They didn't really have much choice for many, many years. Congress had a small presence and BJP didn't have any presence at all in WB. TMC has grown significantly only in the last few years so before that the people only had the Communists.
