It’s never easy to be in public domain. Members of Parliament (MP) cutting across party lines have realised that. Madhusudan Mistry, a Congress MP from Gujarat, gave his mobile number to the voters of his constituency. “Even in the middle of the night, people, evidently drunk, used to call me to solve their petty personal problems,” Mistry recalls.
Now, Trinamool Congress MP Shatabdi Roy is at the receiving end. In a book on Mamata Banerjee, Roy’s personal phone numbers got printed and since then she has been receiving all sorts of calls, not all of which are amusing. Finally, Roy had to apply for a new set of phone numbers.
