Cabinet ministers often get irritated when things do not go according to plan, especially at mega events. In recent times, Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh and Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad have expressed their annoyance publicly. This time it was the turn of Labour and Employment Minister Mallikarjun Kharge.
He could not help display his irritation when his own bureaucrats could not play a CD at an event of the International Labour Organisation (ILO). It was later discovered that the CD on AIDS awareness was corrupt and the audience was denied the opportunity to see the power point presentation.
“Let’s get on with the programme. Give us the CD, we will watch it at home,” said a visibly peeved Kharge. And if that was not enough to displease Kharge, the lights went out twice.
