The intensity of intimacy can be gauged by the fact that Rajnath has entrusted Rudy with the responsibility of most resourceful and mighty state of Maharashtra as In-charge.

(4) Two Directors cease to be on Board of The Karnataka Bank Limited R V Shastri and U R Bhat have ceased to be Independent directors of The Karnataka Bank Limited. (5) Delhis Bureaucracy cries Traahimaam Kejriwal has created a fear psychosis in Government of Delhi by fixing impossible targets as populist measures and then pressure the Delhi bureaucracy to produce results. Take the case of Janlokpal Bill, which he had promised to deliver first on December 27, 2013 later shifted to January 15, 2014, now shifted to first week of February 2014. The draft bill needs approval of GoI ( MHA , Law and union Cabinet ) before being presented in Delhi Vidhan Sabha. With the face off between Delhi CM and union HM , Kejriwal will have to defer the consideration of draft Janlokpal bill ,sine die. There is no chance of seeing it through in the foreseeable future. Be that as it may, his autocratic style of functioning stands exposed. (A K Saxena - A retired civil servant)
