Mumbai Confidential: Actions Speak Louder

No Smiles For Camera?

Former CM Uddhav Thackeray’s photography skills are well-known. Another politician making his presence felt in the field is senior Congress leader Mukul Wasnik who is being praised for his photography skills and is even holding an exhibition in Mumbai. However, knowing his tiff with a large section of state Congress leaders, especially from Vidarbha, few party leaders are reportedly making an effort to visit the venue.

For Wrong Reasons

IAS officer Nandkumar, while in the School Education department, had attracted the ire of activists, researchers in the field for certain decisions and the manner in which those decisions were taken. Now, holding the administrative charge of the OBC department, he seems to have rubbed minister Atul Save the wrong way with his style of functioning. The minister has reportedly written a letter to him. The OBC department of the current government has been in the news for the last two weeks now, much to the discomfort of the leadership of the ruling party.

Lessons In Unwinding
