If Atri Bhattacharya,the flamboyant principal secretary in the department of Information and Culture fell out of favour of CM Mamata Banerjee,another person who was a favourite of the chief minister was singer Indranil Sen. The noted singer who regularly featured in CMs entourage recently was a witness to Mamatas ire. Grapevine has it that the chief minister asked the singer why he was always present in her vicinity. A red faced Sen left the place in a huff,not to be seen again.
Playing it safe<\b>
Ministers heaved a sigh of relief after report cards of all departments came out on December 20,the day Mamata Banerjee met ministers and secretaries to take stock of the developmental work the state government had taken since it assumed power.

But Mamata did none of this,as political circles explained,she would not do with the Lok Sabha elections just six months away. The CM will not afford to antagonise any minister now as the elections are around the corner, a party leader said.
Security nightmare<\b>
