The relationship between Trinamool Congress supremo and West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee and the Congress has never been very special. Even when Mamata was in the Congress, on several occasions, she felt cheated by the Congress high command. But even after that, she was the friend of former PM Rajiv Gandhi. She had termed Rajiv as a 'leader who conquers hearts'.
Not only that, when she came to know about Rajiv Gandhi's assassination, she cried in a locked room for a week. Mamata Banerjee is celebrating her 67th birthday today. Mamata Banerjee had said that Rajiv Gandhi himself had borne the cost of her treatment when he was attacked by Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPIM) activists during a Kolkata rally in 1991. He had also asked about going to the US for further treatment.
Mamata Banerjee had said that she had been crying for a week after she came to know about Rajiv Gandhi's assassination. In her autobiography 'My Unforgettable Memories,' Mamata Banerjee writes that she was badly broken from within when she heard of Rajiv Gandhi's assassination in 1991. She had not eaten or spoken to anyone for a week. She wrote in her autobiography, 'I was once again completely orphaned, this was the second time since my father's death.'
