Generation Gap

West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s new Trinamool office is all done. Though located on the same street as the old office, EM Bypass, it doesn’t quite have the swank of the former. Apart from her room, Mamata also has a separate prayer room in the new office. Word on the street is that nephew Abhishek Banerjee was redoing the former Trinamool Bhawan according to his taste, which Mamata found a trifle flamboyant. Hence the decision to look for a new address. A generational gap?
