CM's priorities

This surely is without  precedent. An union minister has to meet a chief minister in her state in a TV channel's premises because she is busy giving her first television interview.  Last week Jairam Ramesh flew into Kolkata to meet CM  Mamata Banerjee to discuss the new draft of the National Land Acquisition and Rehabilitation and Resettlement Bill. The meeting lasted 20 minutes as reported by The Telegraph, along with a photograph with the caption "Mamata Banerjee and Jairam Ramesh before their meeting at the STAR Ananda office on Saturday" . (The paper and the channel share the same proprietor.)  The Times of India termed it as something 'unheard of' in its next day's Kolkata edition.
