Her close aides say Banerjee wants an efficient IAS officer as she has to juggle both ministry work and prepare for elections in West Bengal. Though applications have begun pouring in, Banerjee is being extremely choosy. In the minister’s reckoning the private secretary must not only be adept at multi-tasking, speak her language Bengali but, above all, must have no connection with her political rival.

“He or she must test Left negative!” an aide exclaimed.
