Cong better in handling

Does not seem to be much of a difference. In fact Congress, with its experience is handling this tool in a better way. NDA being a novice, is totally dependent on IAS who are like termites that will eat the country and the NDA also.

Reimbursements

Radhakrishan is absolutely correct that instead of reimbursement of newspaper, telephone and other sort of bills, the same can be given in salary as allowance thereby saving of lot of time and paper in the Ministries.

PIL -Only solution

The 2nd Administrative Reforms Commission had recommended that delegation of authority (both the administrative & financial) in every organisation needs to be reviewed, revised and prominently displayed both on papers and on the websites. No official should shy away from executing his authority & responsibility. This execution of the authority by the officials should feature as an item of assessment of an officer's performance in the ACR/APAR.The culture of marking of file by the junior to his superior by writing 'may kindly see' should end. This was accepted by the Government and conveyed to all stakeholders for taking action. It was felt that this step to a great extent will remove the policy paralysis which has gripped the government in recent times. All the Government Departments both at the Central and State level had to take action in the matter. But for the vested interest this decision till date has not been implemented in true spirit. Government will not do anything. A PIL is the only solution.

Is MoS & PI out of Modi's control?

This has reference to the order dated 10.06.2015 issued by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation wherein Dr. Bimal Roy, Director, Indian Statistical Institute has been divested of his administrative and financial power without any investigation or enquiry. He has not been given a chance to explain the so called charges of indiscipline or irregularities and simply on the whims of Dr. Arun Shourie, Chairman, ISI Council the action has been taken by the Ministry and by putting unverified charges on the website of MoS & PI the image of a noble scientist like Dr. Bimal Roy has been tarnished. His contribution in ISI has been known to one and all. Modi Government has more enemies within than outside. Where is transparency and rule of law in the case? MoS & PI has earned the distinction of one Ministry under Modi Jee which has been indulged in vendetta only.

Several honest, qualified, experienced and dedicated employees are available who do not have lobby, who are not related to politics and babus, who do not have corporate lobby, who have suffered and are in DGM cadre can take up this position. Govt should be given opportunity. These people have spent over 72 hours in commissioning of units. People with plant experience only should be considered.
