West Bengal's CM Mamata Banerjee made a faux pas as she continuously referred to Nobel winner Abhijit Banerjee as ''Abhishek Babu''. Abhishek is Mamata Banerjee's nephew. In a press conference, Mamata said "From Bengal, there are people like Amartya Sen and Mother Teresa who got the Nobel. Now, Abhishek Babu has got it. It is a matter of pride for Bengal." She also praised Saurav Ganguly on becoming BCCI president.
