Mamata Banerjee Drops ‘Honorable Chief Minister’ Title but Retains CM Reference in Social Media Bio
In West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee remains unwilling to concede defeat despite suffering a crushing loss to the BJP. It is worth noting that in the West Bengal Assembly elections, Mamata Banerjee was defeated by the BJP. On Saturday, May 9, while the BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari took the oath as the new Chief Minister of Bengal, Mamata Banerjee made a significant change to her social media profile. Previously, on one of her social media platforms, Mamata Banerjee’s bio read “Honorable Chief Minister, West Bengal.” However, following Suvendu Adhikari’s swearing-in as Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee removed the title “Honorable Chief Minister” from her bio; notably, she did not replace it with the term “Former Chief Minister.” Instead, in her updated bio, Mamata Banerjee has simply addressed herself as the “Chief Minister of West Bengal.” Additionally, she has mentioned in her bio that she is the “Founding Chairperson” of the Trinamool Congress. The changes made to Mamata Banerjee’s bio on ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) have sparked a heated debate across social media platforms. Some users have tagged ‘X’ owner Elon Musk, appealing to him to alter Mamata Banerjee’s bio, while others have demanded that her account be suspended. It is pertinent to recall that, prior to this, despite her electoral defeat, Mamata Banerjee had refused to resign from the post of Chief Minister, stating that she would not go to the Raj Bhavan to tender her resignation. Subsequently, on May 7, West Bengal Governor R.N. Ravi dissolved the Legislative Assembly, thereby bringing Mamata Banerjee’s tenure to an end.
