PROXIMITY to ruling party functionaries is indeed rewarding but in some cases
the largesse showered upon their close supporters by political leaders seem
ridiculous and more often than not fail to serve the desired purpose (if there
is any) With the Congress assuming power in Punjab over two years back, a large
number of party activists, were nominated as directors of different
boards and corporations. Where there were no provisions for nomination
to board of directors, the government evolved a novel method of
setting up advisory committees, obviously having no legal sanctity,
which were then crammed with supporters and cronies of ministers,
legislators and senior party leaders.
