First, they were on the best of terms; now they are on the worst of terms. First, the woman minister appointed this lady officer as her PS. Then something transpired between the two, and the latter was shown the door. Since she was on central deputation, she was posted laterally in another department in Delhi. Further, her husband got an opportunity to be posted in an Indian embassy abroad. But the energetic and feisty minister could not stomach this piece of innocuous news. So she reportedly set out to take the battle with her once favorite officer a step further and used her influence and ability to deny the prize posting to her husband. Moderation and forgiveness are supposed to be the virtues of the powerful, but apparently they have no value in Delhi's corridors of power. Keeping guessing the characters in lead roles. Gossip goes on.
