Among the departments which faced the chief minister's ire were information technology, PWD, environment, urban development, animal resources development, Paschimanchal Unnayan (West Zone Development) and law.
The ministers and babus were hauled up for failing to coordinate properly with other departments and not managing to spend the allotted funds.
Banerjee also ticked off the tourism department for non-implementation of some of her pet projects and for its inability to rope in private players. At the same time, departments like finance, housing and transport drew the chief minister's praise.
The ministers and the bureaucrats, though, would be thanking their stars that the censure came behind closed doors. Banerjee has often reprimanded her administrative or personal staff during public functions.
Not known for keeping her composure, Banerjee once publicly had said "you should be whipped" to her security guards who made her wait for her car to arrive.
With a ministerial reshuffle said to be on the cards, Banerjee's ministers now seem to be on tenterhooks.
In the past, there were instances when an "irked" chief minister shunted people out from key portfolios - be it former city police commissioner R K Pachnanda who was removed for his department's failure to "timely" nab the killers of a cop or Damayanti Sen who was shifted out the city police for going out of the way to solve the "fabricated" Park Street rape case.
