'Dhokla rajneeti' would not work in West Bengal, says Derek O'Brien

Alluding to the controversy over Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officers reaching the residence of the Kolkata police commissioner on Sunday in connection with the investigation of a scam, Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha member Derek O’Brien (pictured) on Monday said "dhokla rajneeti" would not work in West Bengal. When told that dhokla, a Gujarati snack, was quite delicious, O’Brien said he loved it himself. Interestingly, dhokla is served routinely during press conferences of political parties when held inside Parliament. There have, however, been occasions when the Trinamool Congress has specially organised serving fish fry to journalists.
