son –in – law of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the former Prime Minister of India. He
is maintaining a low profile ever since Vajpayee ji lost power. In fact, Ranjan

Ranjan came to public notice in 1996
when Vajapyee ji became the PM for the first time. Ranjan was made the Officer
on Special Duty (OSD) in PMO. The government last only for 13 days and very few
noticed this important appointment. He rose into the prominence after 1998. In
short span of time, he had become the most powerful person of the Vajpayee
administration. Big industrialists used to lobby for his appointment.
Ranjan is the man behind Reliance

credit to Pramod Mahajan for the same. Similarly, Ranjan was behind
multimillion NHAI contact being given to Malaysian firms (which did wonderful
job, actually).
