Snipe at Rahul, Mamata says she not a seasonal flower

Nanoor/Burdwan(WB), Sep 20 (PTI) After her ‘cuckoo’ remarks, Trinamool Congress chief and Union Railways Minister Mamata Banerjee says she is not a “seasonal flower” in another apparent snipe at Rahul Gandhi.

Mamata also said she does not do politics from a “bed of gold”.

“Amra dumurer phool noi (We are not a seasonal flower rarely seen) that we will appear like cuckoos before elections, chirp and fly away,” Mamata said yesterday without making any reference to the young AICC General Secretary but comments seen as directed at his two recent visits to West Bengal.

“The road I travel is at my finger tips. I know its characteristics. Throughout the year I am with the people. I know their problems and they know me. I understand their language,” she said
