The impact of the ongoing tussle between Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot in Rajasthan has started to reflect on the internal politics of the Congress as well as the functioning of the government. Gehlot has been avoiding the administrative reshuffle for a long time due to mutual tussle with the party high command, legislators and state leaders.
Considered an expert in political manipulation, Gehlot completed two terms as CM much better, but now in the third term, he is struggling with the pilot. Gehlot is currently focusing his attention on political manipulations from Jaipur to Delhi.
On the one hand, the Rajasthan government is struggling with a shortage of Indian Administrative (IAS) and Police Service (IPS) officers. On the other hand, a large number of officers of the Indian Administrative and State Administrative Services (RAS) are sitting in the waiting for the posting order (APO) in the state. The government is not posting these officers.
An official of the state administrative service seems to have forgotten the government. He has been appointed APO for the last seven years. In the administrative area of the state, this discussion is in full swing that on one hand many important posts are lying vacant due to lack of officers. On the other hand, the government is giving salary without work to the officers sitting APO. For the last five years, many important decisions are not being made in the Mines Department of the state, due to the vacant important posts from the Chief Secretary to the Deputy Secretary in the State Department of Mines.
These officers are not getting postings
IAS officer Dinesh Kumar returned to the state after being on deputation for nearly four years in the central government, but from July 11, he has to wait for posting. Dinesh Kumar is the son-in-law of Congress leader PL Punia. Similarly, IAS officer Nirmala Meena, who was suspended for two years due to the ration of wheat involved in the scandal, is awaiting posting from August 7.
About four years ago, Ashok Singhvi, an IAS officer caught in the Khan Mahaghus incident, has been on the run since getting the ED notice. He is currently posted as Director General at Indira Gandhi Panchayati Raj Sansthan, but has not been going to Dattar since getting the ED's notice. Singhvi, who was caught in the Khan Mahaghus case, has been sentenced to jail for one and a half years.
IAS officer Vikram Jindal is on leave from August 15, 2018. Among the officers of the Indian Police Service, Rajendra Kumar Dingat Anand and Vandita Rana are waiting to get the posting. 15 officers of the State Administrative Service are running APOs, while departmental officers are working on the posts fixed for them.
Narsingh has been running APO for the last seven years among the officials of the State Administrative Service. He got the last posting on 2, April 2014 and since then he has not been placed on any post. While APO, he is raising salary sitting at home. Similarly, Rashmi Sharma, Anita Verma, Banwari Lal, Anju Verma, Pradeep Kumar, Bharat Bhushan Goel, Kuntal Vishnoi, Mukesh Meena, KK Goel, Laxmikant, Omkaramal, Rameshwar Lal Meena, Arun Prakash Sharma And Anil Kumar has been running APO for a long time.
