'Illiterate' Mamata becomes 'mad' after Rail Budget 2012?

New Delhi, Mar 15: West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress supremo, Mamata Banerjee might meet with a horrible end as she seems to have upset the business tycoons of the nation. Biocon chief, Kiran Mazumdar Shaw stated that the minister is "economically illiterate" and also accused her of behaving like a "mad despot."

"Mamta is a dangerous, populist demagogue: economically illiterate but politically astute - deadly combo! Mamta is a sad reflection on just how feudal our society and culture is - talk of human rights," reads Shaw's tweets.

"Yielding to Mamta n showing Trivedi the door is a very sad day for Indian politics - UPA Govt is in office but not in power. Mamta is behaving like a mad despot. Political leadership is in deficit with such irrational behaviour that can only harm the poor," tweeted Shaw from her personal Twitter account.

"Dinesh Trivedi has come out with a well thought out railway budget but shot down by a thoughtless interfering despotic Mamta Bannerji," added Shaw.

Meanwhile, Mamata faced stern criticism from another buisness tycoon - Rahul Bajaj who said, "It was a very bold budget and he is a brave man to take such a tough call of increasing fares after ten years. I would have wished to see him around as the Railways Minister. However, it is very unfortunate that his own party is now distancing him."
