In the viral clip, Guruswamy could be heard telling Raju, “The next time you want to, as a law officer, refer to a sitting Chief Minister (Mamata Banerjee) by her name, give her the dignity of calling her the Chief Minister of a state, a multi-term Chief Minister.”
...
Reacting to the viral video, Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate praised the senior advocate. “Absolutely brilliant takedown of Additional Solicitor General SV Raju in the Calcutta High Court by Senior Advocate Menaka Guruswamy,” Shrinate wrote on her X account.

Even now the DGP is being given a freeway to retire with full benefits. The ED belatedly prayed for suspension. He will retire on Jan 31, 2026. What about the new CS? Why no action against her by Centre. And is it legally required that the CS, CP or DGP must accompany CM or Z+ category folks wherever they travel? Just show it. But the Centre quietly gulped this farcical explanation.
Rest assured the SC will sing a very different tune in Feb and going fwd. Remember RG Kar? Always remember we are the sheep.
The person who posted the comment is very obviously a Left supporter. But otherwise he or she was spot on that MG would be rewarded with an RS ticket for her outburst.
Like… why on earth is opposing counsel expected to verbally garland the other side with adjectives like “multi-term Chief Minister”? Bro, this is India, not North Korea—where you’re obligated at gunpoint to say “Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un” before every sentence.
But then again… what do I know 🤷🏽♀️

And yet nobodies on LI criticise her. 😅
It will repeat for Grassroot too and later Saffron Bros. For now Nagpur wants Grassroot to continue. Everything else happening is entertainment, such or otherwise.
I am Groot.
True Reds did it earlier, maybe worse, during their time. GOP did it earlier. British did it. Saffron will certainly do it in future. Already doing in UP. They have a sparkling history of doing it earlier.
Now that we have shown that every non Grassroot has done it and will do in future, how does that justify or dignity the inabe rationale of Madam
He termed this as a knee jerk choice by Mamata, because Menaka hasn’t really been very successful defending the TMC. She has lost in the Cal HC, SC etc repeatedly.
He doesn’t say it openly, but there is a veiled insinuation that Menaka’s outburst against Raju and the virality of the video was not as spontaneous as it looked.
