kanishka singh pays a
heavy price
Where is
Kanishka Singh now? Kanishka was the most trusted aide of Rahul Gandhi, the
heir apparent of Sonia Gandhi. He is a bright young man who studied at St
Stephen’s College and did his MBA from Wharton. His father, SK Singh, was a
reputed foreign secretary of India. With humble beginnings during the Sheila
Dikshit election campaign, he finally joined Rahul’s inner coterie. Kanishka
was administrating Rahul’s political activities in his heydays.Most Congress
leaders were aware of him and knew his importance but he maintained a low
profile. Sources have disclosed that he is out of the close circle of Rahul.
How did that happen? It is learnt that when he was all-powerful, he reportedly
started asking India’s top industrialists to be in touch with him directly. Within
the Congress party, finances are looked after by a very powerful group and it
doesn’t like outsiders to interfere. It is not tolerated by Sonia at any cost.
She doesn’t want to break the existing system of fund collection and storage of
resources. However, even if annoyed by loyalists, the Congress party does not
throw them out instantly. Loyalists are transferred and accommodated. Kanishka
is thus technically transferred from Rahul and is now Priyanka Gandhi’s
assistant.
