Uttarakhand : Officers will be shoved like a pack of cards, ministers are demanding officers of their choice
The BJP government, which came to power in Uttarakhand for the second time in a row, is now preparing to shuffle the leaves of the bureaucracy. The ministers of the Dhami government, who have come into active mode, have asked for officers as per their convenience. It is believed that after the return of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami from Kumaon tour, there will be a major reshuffle in the bureaucracy. On Friday, the Chief Minister indicated that homework was going on in this regard.
Since the allocation of portfolios to the ministers of the Dhami government, the turmoil in the bureaucracy has also intensified. All the eight ministers have started a series of departmental reviews and meetings. It is clear from the kind of indications that the government will move ahead on the 100-day roadmap. Ministers have also made preparations accordingly. Ministers now want to deploy officers as per their convenience. In such a situation, a change in the bureaucracy is believed to be certain.
Anyway, after the formation of the new government, it deploys officers according to its own accord. The purpose behind this is to take the plans on the ground and give speed through the officials of their choice. From this point of view, this time also the situation is no different. The working style of officers often makes headlines. If we look at the previous government, during the Chief Ministers of Trivendra Singh Rawat, Tirath Singh Rawat and Pushkar Singh Dhami, officers were transferred on a large scale. In the first term of the Dhami government, the posts of officers were changed till the last minute.
Now the BJP has come to power for the second time in a row and the Chief Minister is Pushkar Singh Dhami, but there has been a reshuffle in his cabinet. This time there are three new faces in the cabinet, while the old five faces have also been given new portfolios. In such a situation, there is also a challenge to prove themselves before the ministers. There is a discussion that in view of all this, the ministers have also placed the demand regarding the officials of their choice in front of the Chief Minister. On the other hand, on Friday, Chief Minister Dhami indicated that soon there would be a large-scale transfer of officers. He said that after the swearing-in and allocation of portfolios to the ministers, now homework is going on in this regard.
