Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee has squarely blamed Shah Rukh Khan and his Kolkatta Knight Riders for the CPI(M)–led Left Front’s abysmal showing in the West Bengal assembly elections.
“The absence of Saurav Ganguly from KKR ranks upset the general populace. There was no anti-incumbency , no tiredness with 34 years of ‘misrule’, not even Nandigram,” said the veteran political leader.
What she said:
“”Yes,but his role in the management and in the IPL team are two very different things.”

What she meant:
“He (Saurav) can’t play cricket in board meetings, can he?”
What she definitely didn’t:
“Do you think Subrata Roy can play cricket as well as Saurav?”
“No, I don’t think Dada would have been chosen had he been an outsider.”
