Pranab gets Mamata's 'good luck' call

In the Railway Budget, Mamata Banerjee tried to appease the aam aadmi. And after the Budget, she tried to assure Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee that the General Budget that he would present on Monday would also be a “successful budget.” Before leaving for Kolkata on Friday evening, Banerjee called up Mukherjee and said, “Pranab da, don’t worry, your Budget will be very good. It will be very successful. We will be there to support your Budget.” The finance minister had a hearty laugh and said, “Yes, you all should be present in the Lok Sabha on Monday. And please reach Parliament early.” Mukherjee will present the Budget at 11am on Monday.
