No Gifts Please!

We are pleased to see a rare and exemplary human being, namely, Ms Mamata Banergee as the head of the state government in Kolkata. She has had maintained a good tradiion of not accepting any gifts from any individual on the occasion of festivals and otherwise too. She seems to have given strict instructions to her security guards at her residence to drive away the people esp. rich persons bringing gifts of any kind. She is a bachelor staying with her mother and brothers in the same old house of her own in a joint family with simple living standards. Little renovation according to her wish in her chamber at Writers Building, the State Secretariat has been carried out at her own expense (from her salary).

One would pray to God to give her the same style till the end as she had shown in the last 30 years so that other persons can draw inspiration and emulate such high standards of probity and simplicity while occupying high positions in public life. Other examples are Messrs A.K.Antony and Narendra Modi. India needs such public figures to come to power and rule this nation for quite a while.
