Indianmandarins has reliably learned that the rift between a newly appointed Lieutenant Governor and the Chief Secretary has engulfed several crucial decisions. If some well-placed sources are to be believed, the working style of CS remains unchanged but the only thing that has changed is the constitutional post now has a new person in place. The CS has been known for enjoying his own terms.

Obviously, there is a vast difference in the outlook and working style of a political person and a bureaucrat on a constitutional position. The affairs appeared fine till a political person occupied the position but rift started falling out of sync after two persons from the same framework started working together.
