Haldia (West Bengal), Jan 16: An industrialist climbing the dais at an investors' summit to sing a popular Rabindra Sangeet. The perhaps unseen scene was made possible Tuesday courtesy West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
Impressed by Dhunseri Petrochem and Tea chairman C.K. Dhanuka's ability to play the violin on an earlier occasion, Banerjee cajoled him to sing at the opening of the "Bengal Leads" summit organised in this industrial cum port town of East Midnapore district.
"Mr. Dhanuka please come up and sing us a song. Violin, violin," she kept repeating as the seemingly embarrassed industrialist walked towards the stage.
Banerjee then asked music company Saregama's Sanjiv Goenka (chairman of RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group) to accompany Dhanuka.
