Bric a Brac : Arrogant ministers and the media


Arrogance is a common trait among politicians. So it is not surprising that there is a general feeling in power circles that some cabinet ministers think they are god-sent ‘agents of change’. Arrogance reared its head earlier when P Chidambaram was Home Minister and Anand Sharma was the Commerce Minister. In the NDA regime, the list of the arrogant ministers is long but prominent among them are Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Railways Minister Piyush Goel. The atmosphere in both ministries is so suffocating that even senior civil servants are scared to give an appointment and meet journalists.
