One doesn't know what powers him, but this CMD of a mini Ratna CPSE has always come out with flying colors even if he gets trapped in controversies. The latest one is a complaint by a leading TV news channel against this official for his alleged acts of omission and commission in a global project being executed in Oman. Earlier, there were complaints against him in a major Northeastern project. But that did not prevent him from continuing in his job as well as getting an extension. He is said to be so well connected that when his administrative ministry wanted his services to expire following the completion of his term in 2014, it was instructed not to fiddle with him. What happened subsequently would make you gasp. After his term ended in 2014, he was not only allowed to continue as CMD, but was given an extension in 2016 with retrospective effect from 2014. Indianmandarins has reliably learnt that the leading TV news channel, which has filed a complaint against this official, would soon find that it's banging its head against a wall.
