Sugar and spice-nice for Punjab Bureaucrats.

The recent revamping of the bureaucratic set up in Punjab has made one thing crystal clear and effectively resounding.It's up or should we say UP all the way for bureaucrats with a UP connection in Punjab.The equation flows something like this.Chief Minister, Amarinder Singh, has a well documented UP connection.
The Maharaja's family has some ancestral property in Hardwar and Dehradoon. Besides which one of the Maharaja's closest political aide who is a reputed sponsor of political campaigns of Congress in Punjab, Rana Gurjit Singh is a renowned and influential sugar baron of Uttar Pradesh. The Sugar scion is also known to be extremely close to Narayan Dutt Tiwari, former UP Chief Minister and a dedicated congressman himself too.Rana Gurjit Singh understandably features in the Toppriority list of Amarinder Singh and Punjab Congress as a massive financial support of Congress promotional activities.And quite interestingly and expectedly almost all Punjab Bureaucrats with a UP connection are very well connected to Rana Gurjit Singh.Hence, the impact shows at the right time and at the right place for the right portfolio thanks to the sugar coated backing of Rana Gurjit Singh, the sugar baron.Therefore, Punjab bureaucrats with a UP connection have mostly only a sweet taste to remember!!!
