Running with the hare and hunting with the hounds

Few bureaucrats excel when it comes to running with the hare and hunting with the hounds. It seems Jayesh Ranjan, default go-to person in the erstwhile BRS regime, belongs to this ilk. His instant camaraderie at an out-and-out Congress show has raised the hackles of the mouthpieces of BRS party. They have called out Jayesh for his presence at a meeting that Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy had with gig workers on Saturday. BRS’ culture vultures were riled because the meeting was not an official one, but ‘a tamasha’ organised by AICC professionals. Eyebrows are being raised on how the flamboyant babu is managing to work around with the new government when his envious peers were expecting him to be shunted out for his proven proximity to ex-minister KT Rama Rao.
