Mamata Banerjee came to power after defeating the 34-year-old Communist Party of India (Marxist)-led Left Front government in West Bengal. That government was the world's longest-serving democratically-elected communist government.[9][10][11]
In the past, she was the Minister of Railways twice, Minister of Coal once, and Minister of State for Human Resource Development, Department of Youth Affairs and Sports and Women and Child Development once in the cabinet of the Government of India .[12]
She ruined the state of Bengal by minority ( ? ) appeasement and suppressing the core culture of Bengal by taking advantage of infiltrating illegal Muslim immigrants from Bangladesh.
