Yesterday, delegations from the Congress and Aam Aadmi Party called on President Pranab Mukherjee. And today it was the turn of Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister, Nripendra Misra, to visit Rashtrapati Bhavan.

Because this visit was such a hush-hush one, the bureaucracy has gone into speculation mode over what was discussed.
 
One theory goes that Jaitley and Misra, armed with thick files, went to discuss developments in Arunachal Pradesh, but the question then arises: If Arunachal was indeed the topic of discussion, why was Home Minister Rajnath Singh not part of the delegation?

Another theory goes that the discussion centred around the imminent appointment of information commissioners. But, again, the question arises as to why Jaitley would go to discuss CIC appointments.

In the absence of any clear indications, babudom continues to speculate about the real purpose of the meeting and, needless to say, all sides are tight-lipped about it.

Which is why theres not even a mention of it in any of the Twitter feeds.
