Former West Bengal Sports Minister Madan Mitra. (Facebook @MadanMitraofficial)THE TRINAMOOL Congress’s cup of woes continues to fill, with a party MP on Sunday questioning the decision to not include Madan Mitra as Sports Minister in the Mamata Banerjee Cabinet.
Speaking at a party programme at Bally in Howrah district, with Mitra present on the stage, MP Prasun Banerjee, the former Indian football captain, said he was surprised at the decision, as Mitra had been “the best sports minister” since the TMC came to power.
The portfolio is currently held by TMC heavyweight Aroop Biswas, while its Minister of State is Manoj Tiwary, the MLA from Howrah.
Gesturing towards Mitra, Banerjee said, “I don’t accept anyone else as Sports Minister. I am very proud to see this gentleman. I love him and he is my favourite person.”
Mitra had made history not just in the TMC but the whole country, Banerjee said, calling him “different” as compared to the others. “There have been only one or two people by Didi’s side from the start… many have left. Respect must be given to Madan Mitra, I want it, we all want it. I am surprised he is not in the Cabinet.”
