The senior politician said he felt the principles of great leaders like Swami Vivekanand, Rabindranath Tagore and Subhas Chandra Bose were not being followed and only lip service was exchanged.
Sanjhi Soch buero : Trinamool Congress MP Dinesh Trivedi, who resigned from Rajya Sabha on Friday over “violence” in West Bengal, said the move has been guided by his inner voice as he expressed disapproval over the politics in the state.
“Certain things come from your inner voice and when it does there are no calculations in life. I have always been like that. I felt that the country is much larger than all of us together,” Trivedi told CNN-News18 in his first interview after resigning.
The senior politician said he felt the principles of great leaders like Swami Vivekanand, Rabindranath Tagore and Subhas Chandra Bose were not being followed. “What triggered me was that Bengal has some of the best brains in the world and when we talk about Swami Vivekananda, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and Rabindranath Tagore and we don’t follow their ideology… we are just taking their names for the sake of it.”
“I was not able to speak my mind before Mamata Banerjee. There was no forum on which I could express my grievances,” he added.
