This is History (15)

Ministers, bureaucrats mulching PSUs

I had obtained a number of information under RTI as to how Ministers/Bureaucrats are mulching PSUs. Example NTPC, sent it to CVC for taking necessary action. The CVC after taking time by stating, on a number of occasions, that they had called for information from CVO-Ministry of Power and CVC-NTPC decided to close the case. I took a photocopy of the note of CVC's file in which decision was taken to close the case. There was no self-contained note on the file. It was just stated close the case, under the signature of the then CVC. I sent photocopies of all the papers to PMO. The PMO in turned marked the paper to DOP&T. The latter in turn to CVC i.e. vicious circle. Till date the act has not received the light of the day. Then there was a case of Rural Electrification Corporation, BHEL, IRCON, RITES, MTNL and BSNL. No action has been taken under CCS(conduct) Rules. Other PSUs are still being bled. Supreme Court should suo-moto basis take cognisance of the case and issue notice to the Government on the subject of mulching of PSUs.

Eyewash Interview

Recently, an eyewash interview for the post of Under Secretary (Personnel & Admn) on deputation basis in Airports Economic Regulatory Authority of India {AERA} was held. There were around 12 candidates from various ministries/departments of the government of India .It was a predetermined interview. As the result of the interview is out, it appears that this interview was called for to adjust the candidate of Airports Authority of India {AAI}, whose name was probably on transfer list from Delhi to outstation office of AAI. It is really sad that despite having gained vast/rich experience by the government of India officers in personnel and administration, none of the officer was selected for this post and a novice candidate was given priority over these GoI officers. We condemn this heinous and crooked act of AERA officers and demand enquiry from the Minister of Civil Aviation for the lapse committed in the said interview.

Pay Commissions Recommendations

I disagree with A Srivastava that Pay Commission's recommendations are only recommendations and not accepted by GoI. The 6th CPC submitted its report in March 2006. Thereafter these recommendations were scrutinized minutely item by item by Committee of Secretaries [wherein, Secretary Expenditure and DoPT Secretary etc. were also members] and then approved by Cabinet. Cabinet in India is supreme and anything approved by Cabinet is binding on all GoI Departments. Once a recommendation is approved by Cabinet it is not open for DoPT or any other power that be in GoI to study the practicality. The departments are to implement the Cabinet decisions unless they go back to Cabinet and take its approval for not implementing. It is another matter that DoPT played with the system and high-ups also ignored DoPT's hypocrisy and tax-payers money is wasted by taking work of stenographer [UDC equivalent with GP of Rs. 2800] from a PSO [director equivalent with GP of Rs. 8700]. The 6th Pay Commission had recommended PSOs' post as a temporary measure to give relief to stagnating officials until merger is effected. Now even take the case of practicality why 3-4 officials ranging from PS to PSO are required in a Secretary's office when there are only two telephones in his office? How many persons are required for dictation from one Secretary? How many persons are required for keeping engagements of one Secretary? The recent cadre restructuring committee's report is just to cover up past mistakes of DoPT. But it is tax payers' money which should not be wasted on the whims and fancies of 'some' self-centred people in the system. Hope 7th CPC as well as PMO takes care of it.

Kejri also a contender for PM post

Not only Rahul Gandhiji but Arvind Kejriwalji is also a contender for the post of PM in the next decade. However, one thing is clear. It will take them time to acquire the credentials that propelled Modi to PM. Though the Congress organisation will help Rahulji, Kejriwalji will leave Rahulji far behind in being guile and cunningness.
