Minister of State for Civil Aviation Mahesh Sharma makes senior minister a tad nervous

New Minister of State for Civil Aviation Mahesh Sharma seems to be making his senior minister, Ashok Gajapathi Raju, a tad nervous. Playing on the fact that Raju is from the 'allies quota'-being from the TDP-Sharma has stepped out on the front foot, making promises to stakeholders. At a meeting with a civil aviation PSU, Sharma said he had unhindered access to the PMO and could get decisions faster. Welcome as this proactive approach may be, tongues are wagging about a new power centre in the still waters of Rajiv Gandhi Bhavan.
