POLITICAL WHISPERS

Praveen Chakravarty & Alankar Sawai are the two men behind Rahul Gandhi's "Vote Chori" Campaign

Praveen Chakravarty, Chairman of the Congress Data Analytics Department and All India Professionals’ Congress, leads the party’s voter fraud investigations. Appointed by Rahul Gandhi in 2017, Chakravarty—a former Wall Street analyst—built the analytical framework supporting Congress’s claims of voter list manipulation. His team spent six months manually analyzing Election Commission data, identifying patterns such as duplicate voters and fake addresses, and innovated Project SHAKTI to connect grassroots party workers for electoral data collection.

Working closely is Alankar Sawai, a former ICICI executive and Gandhi’s personal secretary, who manages research, documentation, and strategic content. Sawai’s team prepares detailed presentations for press conferences and is credited with tracking technical evidence, including cases like the Brazilian model’s repeated identity use in
voter rolls. Party insiders describe Sawai as wielding significant influence within Gandhi’s inner circle and overseeing the research behind Congress’s “H-Files” public expose.

Both men have helped transform Congress’s campaign strategy by fusing corporate-style analytics and opposition research with traditional political mobilization.

BUREAUCRACY WHISPERS

Bihar bureaucracy-incase RJD comes to power!

If the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan (MGB) forms the next government in Bihar, sources indicate that caste-based appointments will decisively shape the state's bureaucracy once again. Historically, the RJD has viewed the administrative machinery as a vital tool for social transformation and backward caste empowerment, often favoring officers from OBC (Other Backward Class) and SC (Scheduled Caste) backgrounds for top secretariat positions under both Lalu Prasad Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav’s leadership.

Current discussions within the alliance and party strategists reveal that the Chief Minister and top political advisers—like Sanjay Yadav and Manoj Jha—intend to restructure appointments toward maximizing representation for OBCs and SCs in senior IAS and IPS cadres. The likely approach? The Chief Secretary post, considered the most powerful bureaucratic position in the state, would almost certainly be offered to an OBC or SC officer; similar priorities would guide kernel positions such as Principal Secretary, Home Secretary, and district magistrates, with explicit focus on critical districts like Patna, East Champaran, and Gaya.

This strategy isn't merely symbolic. It directly reflects the MGB’s manifesto to boost OBC quotas from 18% to 25% and SC reservation from 16% to 20% in government jobs and promotions, ensuring that top administrators implement welfare and job guarantee schemes with sensitivity to grassroots realities.

Ultimately, the pattern signals a return to the RJD-era approach—appointing officers not just for their merit or efficiency, but for their caste identity and capacity to deliver on political promises of affirmative action and welfare redistribution.
