-The Times of India&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is one &#039;sarkari damaad&#039; who faded from anonymity to obscurity in a jiffy. Ranjan Bhattacharya was never one to court the limelight, preferring to be spoken of in hushed tones as the man who &amp;quot;ran the show&amp;quot;. But no sooner did his source of strength, BJP&#039;s prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, lose power in May 2004 that he disappeared without a trace, avoiding the post-mortem that normally follows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At 4.30 pm on Wednesday, over eight years later, Bhattacharya resurfaced in popular memory courtesy the diminutive anti-graft campaigner Arvind Kejriwal who just weeks ago proved the nemesis of his Congress counterpart Robert Vadra. Kejriwal played out tapes to claim that the ideology-neutral Bhattacharya had moved on to decide affairs in Congress.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A snatch from the infamous Niira Radia tapes, with Bhattacharya talking to the fallen PR queen, said, &amp;quot;Mukeshbhai told me, Congress to apni dukaan hai&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kejriwal played on the sexy quote attributed to the richest Indian to claim that mainstream parties BJP and Congress were in collusion over corruption. While the wannabe politician, with graft as his plank, seemed to argue the need for a third force like him, Bhattacharya may have sighed he better not succeed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Ranjan has become the unlikely symbol of political promiscuity. This, when he got away without scrutiny as an inhabitant of the omnipotent PM residence,&amp;quot; a leader summarized Vajpayee&#039;s son-in-law&#039;s misery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bhattacharya&#039;s role first emerged in 2010 when he, at the height of ministry-making in UPA-2, assured Radia that he would get his contacts in Congress to ensure that Dayanidhi Maran did not become telecom minister. While BJP was mourning its second successive defeat, Bhattacharya was purportedly busy interior designing for Congress. Vajpayee must have cringed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Renewed focus may not be easy to stomach for the man who chose retirement over re-employment. Few in political circles have seen Bhattacharya in a while. He has been fastidious about being faceless. Even at the peak of his powers, when he was the ladder to the PM, rarely could anyone outside the charmed circle claim to have interacted with him. Public appearances were rare, photographs even more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By general reckoning, he would pass unnoticed on any street. This anonymity, along with less intrusive television and social media, is how Bhattacharya succeeded where Vadra failed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a political observer said, &amp;quot;Robert&#039;s flamboyance, his Page 3 habits, put him in the firing line of those gunning for the Gandhi family. Ranjan did not exist for Vajpayee enemies.&amp;quot; So much so that it required an insider in RSS chief K C Sudarshan to throw the muck. The saffron patriarch shook the family when he made a public statement that Bhattacharya and Vajpayee&#039;s principal secretary Brajesh Mishra were responsible for the mess in BJP.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other rare occasion when his name figured and fizzled in a fleeting moment was the UTI scam, but deft maneuvers ensured that no damage was done. Vajpayee&#039;s ouster saw some reports about Bhattacharya&#039;s role in sale of government hotels, but little came out of them. Congress appeared to have helped him succeed in fading away by a policy recently articulated by Digvijay Singh &amp;mdash; we don&#039;t target the families.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Except that Kejriwal is not part of this BJP-Congress omerta. A quick learner, Bhattacharya may just avoid speaking on telephone. And to Radia!!

This is one &#039;sarkari damaad&#039; who faded from anonymity to obscurity in a jiffy. Ranjan Bhattacharya was never one to court the limelight, preferring to be spoken of in hushed tones as the man who &amp;quot;ran the show&amp;quot;. But no sooner did his source of strength, BJP&#039;s prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, lose power in May 2004 that he disappeared without a trace, avoiding the post-mortem that normally follows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At 4.30 pm on Wednesday, over eight years later, Bhattacharya resurfaced in popular memory courtesy the diminutive anti-graft campaigner Arvind Kejriwal who just weeks ago proved the nemesis of his Congress counterpart Robert Vadra. Kejriwal played out tapes to claim that the ideology-neutral Bhattacharya had moved on to decide affairs in Congress.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A snatch from the infamous Niira Radia tapes, with Bhattacharya talking to the fallen PR queen, said, &amp;quot;Mukeshbhai told me, Congress to apni dukaan hai&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kejriwal played on the sexy quote attributed to the richest Indian to claim that mainstream parties BJP and Congress were in collusion over corruption. While the wannabe politician, with graft as his plank, seemed to argue the need for a third force like him, Bhattacharya may have sighed he better not succeed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Ranjan has become the unlikely symbol of political promiscuity. This, when he got away without scrutiny as an inhabitant of the omnipotent PM residence,&amp;quot; a leader summarized Vajpayee&#039;s son-in-law&#039;s misery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bhattacharya&#039;s role first emerged in 2010 when he, at the height of ministry-making in UPA-2, assured Radia that he would get his contacts in Congress to ensure that Dayanidhi Maran did not become telecom minister. While BJP was mourning its second successive defeat, Bhattacharya was purportedly busy interior designing for Congress. Vajpayee must have cringed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Renewed focus may not be easy to stomach for the man who chose retirement over re-employment. Few in political circles have seen Bhattacharya in a while. He has been fastidious about being faceless. Even at the peak of his powers, when he was the ladder to the PM, rarely could anyone outside the charmed circle claim to have interacted with him. Public appearances were rare, photographs even more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By general reckoning, he would pass unnoticed on any street. This anonymity, along with less intrusive television and social media, is how Bhattacharya succeeded where Vadra failed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a political observer said, &amp;quot;Robert&#039;s flamboyance, his Page 3 habits, put him in the firing line of those gunning for the Gandhi family. Ranjan did not exist for Vajpayee enemies.&amp;quot; So much so that it required an insider in RSS chief K C Sudarshan to throw the muck. The saffron patriarch shook the family when he made a public statement that Bhattacharya and Vajpayee&#039;s principal secretary Brajesh Mishra were responsible for the mess in BJP.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other rare occasion when his name figured and fizzled in a fleeting moment was the UTI scam, but deft maneuvers ensured that no damage was done. Vajpayee&#039;s ouster saw some reports about Bhattacharya&#039;s role in sale of government hotels, but little came out of them. Congress appeared to have helped him succeed in fading away by a policy recently articulated by Digvijay Singh &amp;mdash; we don&#039;t target the families.&lt;br /&gt;

Except that Kejriwal is not part of this BJP-Congress omerta. A quick learner, Bhattacharya may just avoid speaking on telephone. And to Radia!!

-The Times of India&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is one &#039;sarkari damaad&#039; who faded from anonymity to obscurity in a jiffy. Ranjan Bhattacharya was never one to court the limelight, preferring to be spoken of in hushed tones as the man who &amp;quot;ran the show&amp;quot;. But no sooner did his source of strength, BJP&#039;s prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, lose power in May 2004 that he disappeared without a trace, avoiding the post-mortem that normally follows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At 4.30 pm on Wednesday, over eight years later, Bhattacharya resurfaced in popular memory courtesy the diminutive anti-graft campaigner Arvind Kejriwal who just weeks ago proved the nemesis of his Congress counterpart Robert Vadra. Kejriwal played out tapes to claim that the ideology-neutral Bhattacharya had moved on to decide affairs in Congress.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A snatch from the infamous Niira Radia tapes, with Bhattacharya talking to the fallen PR queen, said, &amp;quot;Mukeshbhai told me, Congress to apni dukaan hai&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kejriwal played on the sexy quote attributed to the richest Indian to claim that mainstream parties BJP and Congress were in collusion over corruption. While the wannabe politician, with graft as his plank, seemed to argue the need for a third force like him, Bhattacharya may have sighed he better not succeed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Ranjan has become the unlikely symbol of political promiscuity. This, when he got away without scrutiny as an inhabitant of the omnipotent PM residence,&amp;quot; a leader summarized Vajpayee&#039;s son-in-law&#039;s misery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bhattacharya&#039;s role first emerged in 2010 when he, at the height of ministry-making in UPA-2, assured Radia that he would get his contacts in Congress to ensure that Dayanidhi Maran did not become telecom minister. While BJP was mourning its second successive defeat, Bhattacharya was purportedly busy interior designing for Congress. Vajpayee must have cringed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Renewed focus may not be easy to stomach for the man who chose retirement over re-employment. Few in political circles have seen Bhattacharya in a while. He has been fastidious about being faceless. Even at the peak of his powers, when he was the ladder to the PM, rarely could anyone outside the charmed circle claim to have interacted with him. Public appearances were rare, photographs even more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By general reckoning, he would pass unnoticed on any street. This anonymity, along with less intrusive television and social media, is how Bhattacharya succeeded where Vadra failed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a political observer said, &amp;quot;Robert&#039;s flamboyance, his Page 3 habits, put him in the firing line of those gunning for the Gandhi family. Ranjan did not exist for Vajpayee enemies.&amp;quot; So much so that it required an insider in RSS chief K C Sudarshan to throw the muck.

-The Times of India&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is one &#039;sarkari damaad&#039; who faded from anonymity to obscurity in a jiffy. Ranjan Bhattacharya was never one to court the limelight, preferring to be spoken of in hushed tones as the man who &amp;quot;ran the show&amp;quot;. But no sooner did his source of strength, BJP&#039;s prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, lose power in May 2004 that he disappeared without a trace, avoiding the post-mortem that normally follows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At 4.30 pm on Wednesday, over eight years later, Bhattacharya resurfaced in popular memory courtesy the diminutive anti-graft campaigner Arvind Kejriwal who just weeks ago proved the nemesis of his Congress counterpart Robert Vadra. Kejriwal played out tapes to claim that the ideology-neutral Bhattacharya had moved on to decide affairs in Congress.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A snatch from the infamous Niira Radia tapes, with Bhattacharya talking to the fallen PR queen, said, &amp;quot;Mukeshbhai told me, Congress to apni dukaan hai&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kejriwal played on the sexy quote attributed to the richest Indian to claim that mainstream parties BJP and Congress were in collusion over corruption. While the wannabe politician, with graft as his plank, seemed to argue the need for a third force like him, Bhattacharya may have sighed he better not succeed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Ranjan has become the unlikely symbol of political promiscuity. This, when he got away without scrutiny as an inhabitant of the omnipotent PM residence,&amp;quot; a leader summarized Vajpayee&#039;s son-in-law&#039;s misery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bhattacharya&#039;s role first emerged in 2010 when he, at the height of ministry-making in UPA-2, assured Radia that he would get his contacts in Congress to ensure that Dayanidhi Maran did not become telecom minister. While BJP was mourning its second successive defeat, Bhattacharya was purportedly busy interior designing for Congress. Vajpayee must have cringed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Renewed focus may not be easy to stomach for the man who chose retirement over re-employment. Few in political circles have seen Bhattacharya in a while. He has been fastidious about being faceless. Even at the peak of his powers, when he was the ladder to the PM, rarely could anyone outside the charmed circle claim to have interacted with him. Public appearances were rare, photographs even more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By general reckoning, he would pass unnoticed on any street. This anonymity, along with less intrusive television and social media, is how Bhattacharya succeeded where Vadra failed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a political observer said, &amp;quot;Robert&#039;s flamboyance, his Page 3 habits, put him in the firing line of those gunning for the Gandhi family. Ranjan did not exist for Vajpayee enemies.&amp;quot; So much so that it required an insider in RSS chief K C Sudarshan to throw the muck. The saffron patriarch shook the family when he made a public statement that Bhattacharya and Vajpayee&#039;s principal secretary Brajesh Mishra were responsible for the mess in BJP.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other rare occasion when his name figured and fizzled in a fleeting moment was the UTI scam, but deft maneuvers ensured that no damage was done. Vajpayee&#039;s ouster saw some reports about Bhattacharya&#039;s role in sale of government hotels, but little came out of them. Congress appeared to have helped him succeed in fading away by a policy recently articulated by Digvijay Singh &amp;mdash; we don&#039;t target the families.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Except that Kejriwal is not part of this BJP-Congress omerta. A quick learner, Bhattacharya may just avoid speaking on telephone. And to Radia!!

This is one 'sarkari damaad' who faded from anonymity to obscurity in a jiffy. Ranjan Bhattacharya was never one to court the limelight, preferring to be spoken of in hushed tones as the man who &quot;ran the show&quot;. But no sooner did his source of strength, BJP's prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, lose power in May 2004 that he disappeared without a trace, avoiding the post-mortem that normally follows.<br />
<br />
At 4.30 pm on Wednesday, over eight years later, Bhattacharya resurfaced in popular memory courtesy the diminutive anti-graft campaigner Arvind Kejriwal who just weeks ago proved the nemesis of his Congress counterpart Robert Vadra. Kejriwal played out tapes to claim that the ideology-neutral Bhattacharya had moved on to decide affairs in Congress.<br />
<br />
A snatch from the infamous Niira Radia tapes, with Bhattacharya talking to the fallen PR queen, said, &quot;Mukeshbhai told me, Congress to apni dukaan hai&quot;.<br />
<br />
Kejriwal played on the sexy quote attributed to the richest Indian to claim that mainstream parties BJP and Congress were in collusion over corruption. While the wannabe politician, with graft as his plank, seemed to argue the need for a third force like him, Bhattacharya may have sighed he better not succeed.<br />
<br />
&quot;Ranjan has become the unlikely symbol of political promiscuity. This, when he got away without scrutiny as an inhabitant of the omnipotent PM residence,&quot; a leader summarized Vajpayee's son-in-law's misery.<br />
<br />
Bhattacharya's role first emerged in 2010 when he, at the height of ministry-making in UPA-2, assured Radia that he would get his contacts in Congress to ensure that Dayanidhi Maran did not become telecom minister. While BJP was mourning its second successive defeat, Bhattacharya was purportedly busy interior designing for Congress. Vajpayee must have cringed.<br />
<br />
Renewed focus may not be easy to stomach for the man who chose retirement over re-employment. Few in political circles have seen Bhattacharya in a while. He has been fastidious about being faceless. Even at the peak of his powers, when he was the ladder to the PM, rarely could anyone outside the charmed circle claim to have interacted with him. Public appearances were rare, photographs even more.<br />
<br />
By general reckoning, he would pass unnoticed on any street. This anonymity, along with less intrusive television and social media, is how Bhattacharya succeeded where Vadra failed.<br />
<br />
As a political observer said, &quot;Robert's flamboyance, his Page 3 habits, put him in the firing line of those gunning for the Gandhi family. Ranjan did not exist for Vajpayee enemies.&quot; So much so that it required an insider in RSS chief K C Sudarshan to throw the muck.

Vajpayee’s son-in-law back in limelight, courtesy Kejriwal

-The Times of India This is one 'sarkari damaad' who faded from anonymity to obscurity in a jiffy. Ranjan Bhattacharya was never one to court the limelight, preferring to be spoken of in hushed tones as the man who "ran the show". But no sooner did his source of strength, BJP's prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, lose power in May 2004 that he disappeared without a trace, avoiding the post-mortem that normally follows. At 4.30 pm on Wednesday, over eight years later, Bhattacharya resurfaced in popular memory courtesy the diminutive anti-graft campaigner Arvind Kejriwal who just weeks ago proved the nemesis of his Congress counterpart Robert Vadra. Kejriwal played out tapes to claim that the ideology-neutral Bhattacharya had moved on to decide affairs in Congress. A snatch from the infamous Niira Radia tapes, with Bhattacharya talking to the fallen PR queen, said, "Mukeshbhai told me, Congress to apni dukaan hai". Kejriwal played on the sexy quote attributed to the richest Indian to claim that mainstream parties BJP and Congress were in collusion over corruption. While the wannabe politician, with graft as his plank, seemed to argue the need for a third force like him, Bhattacharya may have sighed he better not succeed. "Ranjan has become the unlikely symbol of political promiscuity. This, when he got away without scrutiny as an inhabitant of the omnipotent PM residence," a leader summarized Vajpayee's son-in-law's misery. Bhattacharya's role first emerged in 2010 when he, at the height of ministry-making in UPA-2, assured Radia that he would get his contacts in Congress to ensure that Dayanidhi Maran did not become telecom minister. While BJP was mourning its second successive defeat, Bhattacharya was purportedly busy interior designing for Congress. Vajpayee must have cringed. Renewed focus may not be easy to stomach for the man who chose retirement over re-employment. Few in political circles have seen Bhattacharya in a while. He has been fastidious about being faceless. Even at the peak of his powers, when he was the ladder to the PM, rarely could anyone outside the charmed circle claim to have interacted with him. Public appearances were rare, photographs even more. By general reckoning, he would pass unnoticed on any street. This anonymity, along with less intrusive television and social media, is how Bhattacharya succeeded where Vadra failed. As a political observer said, "Robert's flamboyance, his Page 3 habits, put him in the firing line of those gunning for the Gandhi family. Ranjan did not exist for Vajpayee enemies." So much so that it required an insider in RSS chief K C Sudarshan to throw the muck. The saffron patriarch shook the family when he made a public statement that Bhattacharya and Vajpayee's principal secretary Brajesh Mishra were responsible for the mess in BJP. The other rare occasion when his name figured and fizzled in a fleeting moment was the UTI scam, but deft maneuvers ensured that no damage was done. Vajpayee's ouster saw some reports about Bhattacharya's role in sale of government hotels, but little came out of them. Congress appeared to have helped him succeed in fading away by a policy recently articulated by Digvijay Singh — we don't target the families. Except that Kejriwal is not part of this BJP-Congress omerta. A quick learner, Bhattacharya may just avoid speaking on telephone. And to Radia!!
