West Bengal Finance Minister Amit Mitra generally chooses his words carefully when he speaks in public. So much so that during his address to assembled industrialists at the inauguration of Bengal Leads 2012 in Kolkata, Mitra made a point of coining a word “person-power” to replace “manpower”. “Please note I do not say manpower.

Maybe the fact that he was sharing the stage with his leader and Bengal’s first woman chief minister had something to do with his choice of words.
