Who exactly is Gurudas Kamat angry with? The Kannadiga politician who has made Mumbai his home was given the sanitation and drinking water portfolio in the Cabinet reshuffle. He was expecting to be promoted to the Cabinet. He resigned from all posts and now, after the bomb blasts occurred and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress President Sonia Gandhi went to Mumbai, Kamat did not come to the airport to receive them or meet them. His excuse? He was busy with the preparations for the Panchayat elections. The party is furious and he may be divested of more work in the future.
