When people voted for change congress government replaced
the BJP Government. BJP government changed the congress government . The New
chief Minister changed his Principal Secretary.That is the end of the story. Here after the process of change came
to standstill. Under him everything remains the same. Same old officers,
sweepers,assistants, stenos,typist etc etc , who continue swindling using their
so called proximity to the “big boss”. When it comes to bureaucracy people
can’t expect anything else than the same
old rottenness. The party is new. The ministers are new. But PA’s are the same.
The Government is new, Ministers are new. You enter their office. You see the
same old stinking faces. If you are rich & powerful then you get their
smile, if you are poor you get their boot! It is like finding same old whores in a new
brothel!.
The top bureaucrats
finds themselves incompetent without some “so called experienced
Hands”. I do not know what is their
definition of experienced staff. One don’t need special expertise to take
dictations or to do typing or making
program charts.
Some officers in the secretariats take few PA’s with them to
which ever department they go. Some
officers go alone and depend on the existing PA’s and allow them to run the
show(like DPAR). Either way they show show their unwillingness to bring total
change. They cannot take responsibility of bringing in change. They just want
to hang on. Sri Vidyashankar is probably the only man who brought total change in his establishment when he
moved to C&I department.
They use these establishments to insulate themselves from
public. PA’s make people inaccessible to
their boss and vice versa. If the boss
is soft they PA’s decide who should see the Boss. By insulating the Boss PA’s becomes the boss
themselves. Being a PA of Principal Secretary or Minister help you to hijack
the authority of the Boss. The longer you stay the stonger you grow. In Vidhana
soudha the situation has worsened to such an extent that even a officer of the rank of Principal
secretary or CEO of a top Company can’t get the audition of the chief secretary
unless they allow their ass to be licked by his OSD who is waiting outside the
door!. “Building contact” is the main occupations of these misseleneous PA’s
who sneak into secretariat from different
department.
These IAS bas.@$% are gutless to kickout old longstanding
staff and to bring in New staff. It is not them who directs the establishment
but it is the establishment who directs
the Minister/Officer. “A clear case of tail wagging the dog.
The inability of the IAS officers to manage themselves keeps
sending the ripples of incompetency in the rank and files of workforce which
eventually results in poor performance. Their incompetency add extra pressure
on the officials who work in the lower rung of service delivery chain. The fact
that the are in the receiving end make their life miserable.
This is the state of affair. Their was mining Mafia where hundered of government
servants made lot of money and there were many more scams in past few years. I
wonder if the state executive has got any head. If there was, then if he had
anything inside his head?
