Pranab treads warilyminister eyes top post
PRANAB Mukherjee is displaying extreme caution. It seems he does not want to give any leverage to anybody that might jeopardize his final chance to make it to prime ministership. So he is, more or less, following in the footsteps of Manmohan Singh. No hush-hush dealings can take place in the Finance Ministry now. And Pranabbabu has cautioned his son, who works in a major industrial house, and daughter not to give wheeler-dealers the time of day. Both are dutifully following papa’s advice.
But it so happens that the nation’s Finance Minister is required, willy-nilly, to play many roles. This has led to a certain official in the Ministry becoming all-powerful. The officer, from a family of bureaucrats, counts experience among his attributes and knows precisely what the boss desires. And so one can guess the dignitaries who visit Pranabbabu’s Talkatora Road residence in the fanciest of cars from early in the morning till late in the night for the Minister keeps a long working day.
