One sentence in the column stirs an old memory. Murli Deora ran Bombay Congress for a long time. After the Congress lost the BMC, he called on CM Sharad Pawar at Varsha. The photograph showed a very tall, substantial ( in terms of physical presence and political power ) personage facing a dwarf.
No doubt each senior officer who is granted an extension, one year at a time, must possess exceptional calibre and competence. However, it is equally true that each batch has some truly outstanding officers. An entire batch misses out a career long dream to occupy the top post. That process gets elongated because many top posts enjoy fixed two year tenures, which often start when the officer is on the verge of scheduled retirement.
How much things change after just couple of reversals? This was the same guy was singing peons of Amit & Modi couple of months back after their victories in assembly elections. Be consistent with your writing, or you lose all credibility
