Breaking News From La-La Land: PSU CMD Next Petroleum Minister?
When Speculation Outruns Even the Wildest Possibilities....
Gossip is gossip – and it can be built around almost anything. But when speculation jumps from a possible extension for a PSU CMD straight to making him the Petroleum Minister of India, it enters an altogether different league. A section of the media has reportedly floated precisely this extraordinary possibility, linking it to Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri not getting a Rajya Sabha ticket. Apparently, in the wonderful world of speculation, a PSU boardroom can now be just a step away from the Union Cabinet!
The CMD in question may well have had a good laugh reading the report. An extension or another senior assignment is one thing; becoming the Petroleum Minister is quite another. Cabinet appointments involve political and parliamentary considerations that cannot simply be stitched together with a PSU CMD’s tenure. But why let such minor details interfere with a good piece of gossip?
So, congratulations to the imagination department! From “Will he get an extension?” to “Will he become Petroleum Minister?” in one leap – this isn’t merely gossip anymore. This is breaking news from La-La Land!
