During a visit to Lalgarh on Sunday, Chidambaram said he had spoken to Bhattacharjee on the Maoist problem and “we have differences of perception... I have told him that the buck stops with the Chief Minister and it is the failure of the administration if the buck stops somewhere else”. Speaking to reporters today, Bhattacharjee said: “Buck is not the language of politicians. I say, mind your language. This language is used in the game of poker. This is slang... I know my responsibility. Let me do my job and and let him do his.”
“I am trying to discharge my responsibilities. I have my own views about the law and order situation in the state. He gave me his views, I gave him mine. But I also told him it is very difficult to maintain law and order if the Opposition does not cooperate. I told him you should tell the Opposition to attend meetings called by the government.” A little earlier, at the CPM headquarters on Alimuddin Street, party leader Md Selim also targeted Chidambaram: “We know he is from Harvard, sits in North Block and speaks in an Americanized accent... He should be seen in other parts of the country where Maoists are on the rampage.”
