Kolkata:
We have usually seen her as the angry young woman from West Bengal. But last evening, Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee pulled off a prank that would have done a teenager proud.
She pushed her dhoti-clad party colleague and Kolkata Mayor into a swimming pool.
Mamata had gone with Mayor Sovan Chatterjee to lay the foundation stone for a booster pumping station in south Kolkata.
After the formalities were over, the entire entourage stopped at a new swimming pool nearby. As they stood on the edge watching two little girls splash around, Mamata gave the Mayor a shove.
It wasn't accidental and in he went, starched dhoti and all.
