At times, Banerjee struggled to make herself heard above the din after members across parties stood up to articulate demands pertaining to their constituencies with Speaker Meira Kumar intervening to restore order. While the CPM and the Trinamool Congress desisted from a confrontation, the House witnessed some lighter moments when BJP's Ananth Kumar demanded that she promise to present a white paper on the working of the Railways and a vision document for the future on the first day of the Winter Session of Parliament. Banerjee quipped that while she could not predict when the requisite procedure for preparing both documents would be complete, the documents would nonetheless, be "colourful", not just black and white.

She promised to convene an all-party meeting, including members of the Planning Commission, to discuss the creation of more infrastructure.
