How Pratyaya Amrit became indispensible for Chief Minister Nitish Kumar?

The Bihar state has seen the coordinated efforts of an energetic Chief Minister, fully in his 'Susashan Babu' avatar, and a sharp bureaucrat. It so happened that the 2005 Assembly election in Bihar was a watershed moment for state. Nitish Kumar became the Chief Minister and worked towards fulfilling his promise of transforming Bihar, reeling under the corruption and neglect of the Lalu Yadav era. The new Chief Minister started identifying bright IAS officers of the Bihar cadre on central deputation. They were called up and asked to come and serve their state. Amrit found his calling in that period. What followed was the coordinated efforts of both for the upliftment of the state. He is actually one of the most reliable officers of the Chief Minister, who gets work done. From roads to bridges to power to the fight against Covid, the Chief Minister has repeatedly relied on Amrit and given him key responsibilities. He has delivered and given expected results. And now, as the JDU chief is at a crossroads, with his rivals claiming that he is past his prime, he has yet again turned to his trusted officer.
