It was this astrologer who had predicted that Mamata Banerjee would come to power in May, 2011, reports the Bengali newspaper Bartaman.
Not only this, two persons totally unrelated to legal education - artist Shuvaprasanna Roy and Trinamool's education cell leader Krishnakali Basu - have also been appointed members of the general council.
The two appointees replaced legal luminaries like former Bombay High Court chief justice Chittatosh Mukherjee and Calcutta High Court's former judge Moloy Sengupta.
