State defied DoPT by reappointing Chief Secretary Rakesh Sharma after his retirement: BJP leader

Published on: 

A senior State BJP leader, and former president of Rajya Andolankari Parishad,  Ravindra Jugran has written to the Prime  Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that the State  Government has trampled over the constitutional norms while retaining Rakesh Sharma as the  chief secretary of the State after his retirement.

He forwarded the copies of the letter to the  media during a press conference in Dehradun on Friday.

He said the letter  contains 13 points, exposing  the acts of omission and  commission of the Congess-led State Government.

"I have given details of  how    the State government has given reappointment to Sharma, defying  DoPT. This is a serious issue as it has  sent a  wrong message to the bureaucrats and other Government officials, demoralising them. The move is a  discouraging one for the  aspiring junior officials. Such extension or reappointment  would  prove a bad precedent as it was given when there were other  officials competent enough to replace him. We are convinced that   things are murky and worth to be probed  into," Ravindra Jugran said to the media persons after the  letter was released to the media.
