She is to lose the bird in hand too

There is a high flying female politico facing the prospect of getting grounded without any high office due to a snag that shattered her dreams at the recent Ministerial reshuffles.

She was denied an important portfolio she was to be offered at the eleventh hour due to a strong objection from a senior purohita. 
She is now facing the worst possible scenario of losing the office she is currently holding amid the purohita above her having put his foot down saying she should go.
