Two days after she dubbed the Mamata Banerjee government in West Bengal as 'fascist', Magsaysay award winner social activist Mahashweta Devi has said she had full faith in the chief minister.
"I have full faith on Mamata Banerjee's leadership. She only can rebuild a new Bengal.
Her work among the poor, backward classes, tribals and minorities are well known," sources close to the 87-year-old Mahashweta Devi told PTI quoting a synopsis of a column by her to be published in a newspaper tomorrow.
"What I had said that day, should not create any misunderstanding. I have taken up the pen only to express my feelings. What I had said that day should be taken in its proper perspective. I have no desire to see this government lose power," the sources said.
