The one who was Manmohan Singh’s most trusted, now became the ‘troubleshooter’ of Modi government; Opposition came on backfoot on hearing the name Once Manmohan Singh’s most trusted aide, he has now become the Modi government’s ‘crisis-solver’; the Opposition went on the back foot the moment his name was mentioned.

Such an interesting game of check-mate is being seen in the corridors of Indian politics and power, which has surprised even the political analysts. A veteran administrative face, who was once the most important and strategically trusted person of former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh during the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, has now taken charge as the biggest ‘troubleshooter’ of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) i.e. Modi government. As soon as the name of this expert player of diplomacy and administrative reforms came up, the opposition which was preparing to corner the government was completely stunned.

The strongest shield from policy decisions to political siege

The role of this top strategist is not limited to just administrative files, rather he is seen standing as a strong shield in every policy and political crisis faced by the government. According to sources, in recent times he has played a very important role behind the scenes in resolving many sensitive bills and policy impasses. The opposition has no match to the arguments and administrative experience of this veteran, which is why whenever this face comes to the fore, the strategies of the opposition camp remain in vain.

From Manmohan government to Modi government: Why is this administrative journey special?

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also expressed unwavering confidence in this face who prepared the blueprint for many major economic and policy decisions of the country during the tenure of Dr. Manmohan Singh. This is being considered a great example of ‘performance over politics’ (work over politics) in the corridors of power. The Modi government has entrusted him with the most important responsibilities in view of his extensive experience, command of international diplomacy and ability to resolve even the most complex issues peacefully. His journey shows how indispensable talent and ability are for any government.

Big impact on political equations from power in Delhi to states.

The impact of the presence of this troublemaker on geographical and national security as well as in the policy corridors of Delhi (Lutyens’ Delhi) is now clearly visible. Their role is proving to be very effective in coordinating the central government with various states and solving complex regional issues. This administrative reshuffle and new equations have made it clear that the Modi government is not going to shy away from using the best minds of the country to implement its plans and penetrate the maze of the opposition.
