Shah invokes Satyajit Ray, takes 'Hirak Rani' jibe at Didi

Taking a dig at the Mamata government, Shah said that had Oscar-awarded filmmaker Satyajit Ray been alive he would have made a film 'Hirak Ranir Deshe' (In the land of the diamond queen)', depicting the misrule of the CM, instead of 'Hirak Rajar Deshe'.

"Satyajit Ray was a great artist. He made a movie, 'Hirak Rajar Deshe'. When Mamata Banerjee's regime began, Satyajit Ray was not alive. Otherwise, he would have named the movie, 'Hirak Ranir Deshe'. Mamata Banerjee is 'Hirak Rani'," Shah said, addressing a poll rally in Hooghly.
