Shortly after her swearing-in as West Bengal’s first woman chief minister on Friday, Ms Mamata Banerjee said she would prefer to be called a commoner.
Asked how she was feeling now that she has become the chief minister, Ms Banerjee quipped, “Yes I am a chief minister. I would better prefer to be called a commoner.”
Ms Banerjee said she had a meeting with Governor Mr M K Narayanan after the swearing-in on the development of the state and that she intended to talk to the Governor every week.
“Now I am going to the Writers’ Building where I will hold a cabinet meeting. Thereafter I may speak to you,” Ms Banerjee told reporters as she was leaving the Raj Bhavan.
