Senior Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar’s entry to the Rajya Sabha in the nominated category has virtually ruled out a place for him in the cabinet. But he is still unflappable.
Aiyar, who was part of the last United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, says he had seen the system inside out when he was part of the cabinet and “had no particular desire to be a minister.”
Aiyar now wishes to fulfil his role as an “untamed” MP, something he could not do earlier as a minister.
