Minister without an office

Anand Sharma might have been successful in getting full control over the Information and Broadcasting Ministry8212;he was initially assigned only Parliament-related duties8212;in the absence of the ailing Priyaranjan Dasmunsi but all his efforts to find himself a room in the ministry building have been in vain. Dasmunsi8217;s room cannot be vacated for Sharma since the former has not been relieved of his charge while Minister of State Ambareesh8217;s room cannot be occupied since his resignation8212;submitted in the wake of the Cauvery protests8212;was not accepted. So there are two ministerial chambers lying vacant in Shastri Bhawan but no space for the lone minister who is trying hard to learn the nuances of the Information and Broadcasting Ministry.
