Deora: Sights on a record
Murli Deora has created a record of sorts.
No one has ever completed a full five-year term as Petroleum Minister and none have ever been repeated.
BJP's Ram Naik is the longest serving Oil Minister surviving at Shastri Bhawan for good four-and-half years.
Deora, 72, who has been named part of the Union Cabinet, is most likely to break that jinx and return as Petroleum Minister. Widely considered pro-US and pro-business, Deora was for long the Congress' principal interface with the industry.
