In sync with the times driven by social media, in a sudden and historic shift, two telltale videos were released by senior bureaucrats who have withstood regime change so far — – one by Jayesh Ranjan and the other by Ramakrishna Rao. Both shared details of how their US trip panned out. Of course, bureaucratic circles are divided over whether they, or for that matter, any babu should do such videos. Bharat Rashtra Samithi working president KT Rama Rao was asked: “How do you see the videos?”. He promptly said, “Oh it’s a race for Kaun Banega Chief Secretary” and went on to add: “Why CS Santhi Kumari did not do it is because she is done and dusted”. As things stand, it seems the better the video, the better the chances. By the way, if the video trick works, the next game among ambitious babus would be ‘Kaun baneyega video?’
