Is functioning of bureaucracy better under the present NDA rule or was it better in the UPA regime?

DEBATE

Bureaucratic performance depends on political leadership. Take UPA's misrule. The bureaucracy lost its self-confidence combined with lack of initiative in decision -making. All decisions taken by the extra - Constitutional authority led to serial scams. Failure to fall in line and fear of anti-graft agencies kept the bureaucracy from taking important calls. Bureaucrat while assisting political masters are with in their rights to object illegal or unconstitutional orders. This attitude was missing in UPA- appointed bureaucrats who were rewarded with coveted postings and post-retirement assignments. Worse, with a gutless PM, the domineering ministers owing direct allegiance to the Congress supremo emasculated the bureaucracy. Now, consider the present dispensation.UPA-appointed bureaucrats, good at boundary management, succeeded in retaining prized postings. Position worsened with Modi ji's blind reliance on a coterie of smart bureaucrats. Inability to repatriate black money and punish serial scamsters of UPA-II , controlling corruption and inflation, despite poll promises, can be listed as NDA's failures. The Modi sarkar is different from Congress-led sarkar in that while,UPA ministers were foreign educated and arrogant; several BJP ministers are equally arrogant despite being uneducated. Bureaucrat's quick adaptability and pliability to incoming govt. continues unabated for getting plum postings, extensions and re-employment as consultants. Simply put, meritocracy, as always, is replaced by mediocracy and sycophancy. The silent majority of quiet performers remains un-heard and neglected. The bureaucratic mindsets do not necessarily change with change of governments.

Bureaucracy serves itself

Bureaucracy is same during UPA or NDA. It only serves itself...

No time for Kejriwal

Is Arvind Kejriwal losing an opportunity to serve Delhi in the various tussles that he is engaged in? As the chief of a a new party, Arvind Kejriwal will have many political challenges, both from within (Yogendra Yadav, Prashant Bhushan) and outside (other political parties etc). In his place, any other person would also have had to contend with the same. Point to note is, despite all circumstances, in today's political landscape, one has to perform, or perish. To perform, Arvind Kejriwal has to stay focussed on governance and gain experience therein. Frittering time away on petty politicking will not help him, in the long run. If he fails, a good leader in the making will be lost.
