Anurag Thakur member of the Lok Sabha and a rising star in the firmament of the Bharatiya Janata Party. But assessors at the selection centre hosted by the army saw a different Anurag Thakur, who presented himself for being commissioned as officer in the Territorial Army. Thakur, apparently, demonstrated discipline, modesty and intelligence. He passed the group task, psychological assessment and interview with flying colours. He shared his room with five others, stood in queue to get his meals, hit the bed early and woke up at the crack of dawn. Thakur is all set to serve as an officer in the Territorial Army.
