The top 5 list under Modi doesnt go beyond two

The grapevine is buzzing with talk about who is close to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Who are the top five among the Union ministers, junior ministers and the bureaucrats?

Nothing unusual about this, since such an exercise is routinely undertaken by the business-industry-bureaucratic circles as well as the legal fraternity since, goes the wisdom, it then becomes easy to know who to tap for access to the very top.

But, sources say, such an exercise has met with a stonewall in the new administration, with insiders saying that the list does not go beyond one or two persons, forget the top five. Reason being, everything is so Modi-centric.
