DEBATE
Both the systems shall equally be proved to be bogus and corrupt
as both will involve human intervention. If the Government is keen and
really interested in appointing intelligent and honest Judges it should
hold in All India Level Examination for appointment of Judges of High
Court and Supreme Court like Civil Services and then judge other merits.

Cause of BJP defeat
It is a general feeling that even after 10 months, the retention of
same corrupt bureaucrats at key posts in important Departments in Delhi
who were there in Congress regime , is the main cause of BJP's defeat
in Delhi. Modi and top brass of BJP will now have to do immediate reshuffling
in key Departments in Delhi. The public is thinking that only government
has changed but same officers on same posts are ruling.
Indian Council of Forestry Research and Education (ICFRE), an autonomous
and only national level council of MoEF is appointing more than 60 IFS
officers on deputation with out the approval of Department of Expenditure
and Ministry of Finance. The same has been pointed out by the CAG, but
no action by the government. MoEF and MoF both the ministry are quite
under the influence of these officers including CAG. I hope you may
highlight the issue to reach to the PMO, so that R & D in the field
of forest and environment science do not suffer.

Why people are silent ?
Why people are so silent about sacking of Home Secretary? Still afraid
to talk about mighty IAS in spite of his recorded conversations.

There is a difference
The officers named under the UPA government were Keralites but not of
Kerala State Cadre- at least TKA Nair was not. He was of Punjab State
cadre. The officers named under the NDA are not Keralites though they
are/ have been of the Kerala cadre of their respective services.
