An official said the prime minister, governor Jagdeep Dhankad and union ministers patiently waited for half an hour for West Bengal representatives to turn up. “Suddenly Mamata Banerjee, in her haughtiness, stormed in and handed over a bunch of papers on the cyclone impact to the PM and said that she is leaving as she has other visits lined up,” sources said.
