Mamata's new toy

Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee’s latest fad is a sleek laptop. But if you thought the firebrand leader had suddenly become tech-savvy, then you are wrong. The laptop is used by Banerjee only to play music during her long-distance travels and at night after a day’s hard work. But typically, Banerjee doesn’t carry the laptop in its sleek case. She prefers to bung it into her trademark blue jhola or the sling bag that carries all important papers, including her Budget speech.
