3. Assume the best intention of others.

He has been in charge of the BCI continuously since 2012, barring a brief interruption. The next-longest tenure is held by Ram Jethamalani: 1970 to 1976. I'm not going to spend time talking about Mishra's track record because everyone knows what it is. I just want to know if we will have a new BCI Chairman, to carry out much-needed pending reforms like foreign law firm entry, Indian Judicial Service, NLU nationalisation, law school curriculum reform and opening of foreign law school campuses. Or will Mishra hold both posts simultaneously?
It's also curious how Mishra is so important to the BJP. He was initially with the BSP, then switched to the Congress when Manmohan Singh became PM, then became a BJP supporter when Modi became PM.
