Kolkata:
Four faces were missing from a cabinet meeting called by Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday, raising eyebrows over the possibility of yet more Trinamool leaders switching political camps ahead of next year s Assembly election.
Of the four, three offered perfectly valid explanations, Partha Chatterjee, the Secretary-General of the ruling party, said. Rajib Banerjee, the fourth, remained incommunicado till late in the evening.
Ominously, Mr Banerjee, the Forests Minister and the MLA from Domjur, has been striking discordant notes over the past few weeks. In November, at a public meeting in Kolkata, he spoke about nepotism and sycophancy in the party, alleging that yes men were rising to prominence and that this was a matter of great personal disappointment.
