New Delhi, Nov 12: Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee, who has indicated her intention to rejoin Vajpayee government, may have to cool her heels outside the cabinet for some more time. Highly-placed government sources today said that Banerjee's re-induction during the winter session of Parliament is unlikely and indicated that government was in no mood to agree to her demands, including those relating to Eastern Railway bifurcation.

The TC chief, who held discussions with NDA convenor and defence minister George Fernandes over her demands had said in Kolkata last week that Fernandes had "requested" her to join the NDA government.
The working committee of Trinamool Congress had decided last week to remain in NDA and after the meeting Banerjee had indicated her party could join the Vajpayee government.
She also had a telephonic talk with OSD in Prime Minister's Office Sudhindra Kulkarni, on the issues.
