i dunno know much.
she is very much a common-man's politician and much more so than the chechescu style jyoti basu.
she dont have much of formal education either.. unlike the scoundrel brigade (jb = lawyer from inner temple. somnath chatterjee = lawyer from one of the 4 law houses in england - inner temple, middle temple, gary's inn and linclon's inn etc)
she is called a firebrand cos she had the guts to challenge the pseudo socialist stranglehold.
and yes ashok kumar i know she isnt cong proper she is tmc. and that nda victory in bihar is good news for tmc. problem is that commies under BB did rather well for the last 5 years. also cong and cpim are partners in the centre and if they see the tmc-bjp combine to be much of a threat, then they may team up in wb.
on the other hand, if say tmc-bjo somehow come to wb and later the ulta-pulta alliance goes for a toss in 2006 and bjp comes back in power at the centre, then tmc could pave the way for a jansangh wb. that will be goiod news for nitish led bihar as well, if bjp comes back in power - cos then bjp could go out of their way to prop up nitish.
