Whenever there is a shift in power, the dynamics of the state changes instantly. The state is introduced to the new hands who work, covertly or overtly, with the new chief minister of a state. Those who are into business, identify the VIP who undertakes the covert operations and deliver in no time.
When the Haryana government had a completely new face as Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, a team of new faces also emerged in the power circle. Like the chief minister, the power coterie was new not only to the state but to the people who drive the growth engine. Slowly a system set into place. Apart from the unofficial coterie, there is one very important person in Haryana who has a hand in every operation of the state. He is into mining, change of land use, colonising, etc. He has risen from the ranks of the BJP and is very close to a politician sitting in North Block. He now covertly handles Gurgaon’s land operations. Earlier, this VIP was working with the former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, Mayawati, as he belongs to western UP. There is no coloniser, builder or construction company which has its operation in Gurgaon, who does not have a direct link with this VIP. The clout of the VIP was realised when during the Covid-19 lockdown his beloved mother passed away. CEOs, builders, colonisers, multinational executives, all came to mourn the demise of his mother at his South Delhi residence. One could easily feel where the power centre of Gurgaon is! G
