They may be political rivals, but that didn’t prevent former Railway Minister Lalu Prasad from coming to meet his successor Mamata Banerjee to ask her to speedily implement a project. Banerjee summoned Railway Board chairman SS Khurana to her office, and when Khurana entered the room, she was all sugar and honey, “Khuranaji you are looking so handsome.
The dress you are wearing is also very nice.” While Khurana beamed widely, Prasad was quick to complain, “Arre, nowadays he doesn’t even take my phone calls.” Banerjee took the cue and said, “Laluji has some requests. Please see that these works are done.”
