Finance minister Pranab Mukherjee’s meeting with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today, they were severely disappointed.

He told the Prime Minister he had sought the meeting while in transit through New York because he would briefly touch down in Delhi on his return from the US and immediately proceed to Calcutta for pitri tarpan ceremonies in his village.
Thereafter, he will travel elsewhere to dedicate a huge power plant to the nation. Mukherjee told Indian reporters there were matters that came up at last week’s annual meetings of the World Bank Group, which could not wait till he returned to New Delhi after almost a whole week.
Singh returns to India on Tuesday night, Mukherjee would already be in Calcutta and, therefore, he took the opportunity of a transit halt in New York to discuss fears of a second global financial meltdown that came up during last week’s meetings, the finance minister said.
