Even after getting appointed as a national spokesperson for the Bharatiya Janata Party, Bhubaneswar MP, Aparajita Sarangi, is obviously in a willing suspension of fear over her position as, whether, she is one of the thinking hats in the party or not.
Her fear may have some logic.

Even after getting appointed as a national spokesperson for the Bharatiya Janata Party, Bhubaneswar MP, Aparajita Sarangi, is obviously in a willing suspension of fear over her position as, whether, she is one of the thinking hats in the party or not.
Her fear may have some logic.
The other day, a message posted in her WhatsApp group (Press Forum) read that, after being appointed as a national spokesperson, `madam Aparajita Sarangi for the first time going to arrive in Bhubaneswar` hence she deserves a rousing welcome! That was the essence.
Political Overdrive
It was bit amusing to read the intent.
First one would think, as if, she scaled a new height in national politics or got a berth in the union cabinet or something alike to breath a fresh dose of euphoria among the party cadre! Perhaps, there is nothing like that!
Before that she was seen in a few television debates in Delhi.
Notwithstanding the yardstick adopted by the BJP in such appointments, but her performance in those debates looked so wanting both in essence and homework.
Without any personalisation of the issue, ìt can be said that, Sarangi has kickstarted her race into politics with a soul of a bereaucrat within, which she has not been able to wriggle out of, till date.
Where speaking through the hat, more often than not, appears very usual and, some believe that masking arrogance by arrogance is an essential weapon to become upsparing towards sense of self-doubt.
But politics is a different ball game.
Where ones biographies rarely matter but only you matter by the calculus that to what extent you remain relevant in the collective perception of people on the ground and not merely cheerleaders within the party.
