Gujral to continue !

While entire Chandigarh Administration is fluttering like a drenched bird ever since names of some UT cadre officers have cropped up for the coveted post of Advisor, grapevine has it that much of all this din is nothing but sheer brouhaha. 1968 batch officer, T Thomas Joseph whose name created quite a stir amongst local media in Chandigarh apparently seems to be ruled out as he is too senior to be sent as an Advisor. 1973 batch Pondicherry Chief Secretary, R. Padmanabhan projected as a hot contender by the local media is also ruled out as he has quite a major chunk of his tenure to be completed.For 1970 batch officer Baleshwar Rai, the grapevine offering that he would fancy a shot at the coveted post of UT advisor is also ambiguous as he has already been the Advisor in chandigarh almost 12 years back and coming back here after his present stint as Additional Secretary, Ministry of Labour would be quite a small move as well as a small deputation for him. It is believed that his chances of becoming the Chief Secretary, Delhi are also limited as Chief Minister Shiela Dixit is quite happy with current CS Shailja Chandra and if Congress comes back to power in Delhi, then Dixit-Chandra duo would continue.It is also rumoured that Baleshwar Rai might just want to stay in Delhi and sharpen his political network and contest the elections on a Congress ticket once he is through with his bureaucratic career.Lalit Sharma?.. whatever happened to Chief Secretary Arunachal Pradesh who , a couple of months back, was the hottest contender to replace Virender Singh?? Grapevine has it that the Government has not been able to find a replacement for him in Arunachal Pradesh. Rumour mill also churns out that Lalit Sharma is getting along great guns with the Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister and his keenness to leave Arunachal and relocate in Chandigarh is also doubtful!! Therefore, for the moment it seems Haryana Cadre officer RS Gujral, the suave IIM pass out would stay put as Advisor in Chandigarh till the elections. Hope Chandigarh benefits from Gujral's able administrative and sharp managerial skills.
