What Mamata Banerjee is not realising is that she is playing with fire, and when you play with fire, you often get burnt.
Look at Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, America and Pakistan, all victims of their own creations.
Collaborating with Maoists for short terms gains is the biggest mistake of Mamata's political career, and it also goes against the interests of not only Bengal, but entire India.
Sad;y, nobody and that includes CPI-M, TMC or AIC is interested in the welfare of Bengal, and they are interested in is getting cheap political mileage and seats in the next assembly elections.
