Lucknow: With more
than 1,011 transfers in 24 days, the once powerful bureaucracy in
Uttar Pradesh is running for cover these days.
And so while the babudom was rife of a "complete overhaul" of the
state police and bureaucracy, officials have been taken by
surprise at the bulk numbers in which Chief Minister Akhilesh
Yadav is rejigging them.
On the first day in power (March 15), the chief minister made only
minor changes, posting new faces in his secretariat.
The flood gates opened soon after, and the top posts in the IAS
and IPS establishments were shifted.
Till date, more than 1,000 officials from the police and
administrative services have been shunted from here to there,
reportedly based on their "loyalty tilts".
These transfers include Chief Secretary Jawed Usmani, who was
placed in place of Anoop Mishra.
Uttar Pradesh also got a new police boss. Director General of
Police A.C. Sharma succeeded Atul Kumar.
Most Inspector Generals of Police, Deputy Inspector Generals,
Senior Superintendents, Additional Superintendents and Deputy
Superintendents in the state were also transferred.
What has taken many by surprise is the flip-flops by the
government.
More than 100 IAS, IPS, PPS and PCS officials in the state have
been posted, then their postings cancelled within 24 or less
hours.
While many feel that "backroom manoeuvrings" are behind the pulls,
many admit that such frequent transfers have left them in a tizzy.
Prominent amongst the flip-flop transfers includes senior IAS
officer Sanjay Agarwal, who was made principal secretary to the
chief minister on March 28.
He joined the fifth floor secretariat of the chief minister in the
night but was removed the next day and posted as principal
secretary, Health.
Similarly, Majid Ali was made principal secretary of Power and was
removed within hours and given the charge of Cooperatives.
Rajan Shukla was made Industrial Development Commissioner and
removed two days later and given charge of Irrigation.
The district magistrate of Bulandshahr, Kamini Ratan Chauhan, was
first made head of Pratapgarh district and then made the
Additional Commissioner Trade Tax.
Santosh Yadav was first made divisional commissioner of Meerut and
removed within five days to become vice chairman of the Ghaziabad
Development Authority.
