Why the resurgent aam admi is silent on the systematic degeneration of the whole administrative setup, starting with the bureaucrats to all other state institutions, by the UPA 1& 2 in last one whole decade, has become a curious question ?
This anomaly has become so grave in operation and even the outcome is so serious that the great historian and author Ramachandra Guha have to term it as complete demolition of democratic values in the executive wing of national government, where political interference has risen to such an horrible level, where anyone or everyone has to pay very "High Price Of Honesty".
By targeting bureaucrats with integrity, UPA has contributed to the degeneration of state institutions Ramachandra Guha, basically a valuable and renowned historian, has presented his utmost anguish on the fact by accusing the Congress government for targeting bureaucrats with integrity, UPA has contributed to the degeneration of state institutions. Guha narrated his observation :
"I come from a family of public servants. Although i chose not to work for the government myself, in my professional life i have often had to deal with civil servants. These, like India itself, are a mixture of the bad, the horrible, and – lest we forget – the good. In fact, given how steady has been the contamination of the bureaucracy by political interference, it is surprising how many competent IAS officers still remain. One of them is Keshav Desiraju, recently in the news for being unexpectedly transferred from the health ministry despite having done – by all accounts – an excellent job during his tenure there."
He added," Desiraju is an old-fashioned civil servant, which means he never talks to the press. Yet his transfer occasioned a widespread public outcry. Hundreds of doctors and community health workers wrote to the health minister and the prime minister expressing their dismay that a person who had given new life to the health sector had been removed.
The anguish at Desiraju’s transfer was expressed by many young doctors who are not household names. However, it was shared – and in public – by some admired senior members of the medical community, such as the heart surgeon Devi Shetty and the orthopaedic surgeon Rajasekaran Shanmughanathan.
A respected former health secretary, Sujatha Rao, and a former cabinet secretary, T S R Subramanian, also spoke out strongly against the treatment of Desiraju."
" Among those who wrote to the prime minister protesting against the transfer were N R Narayana Murthy and Kiran Mazumdar Shaw. Leading industrialists are normally wary of taking public stances, but here both Murthy and Shaw knew from their professional dealings with Desiraju how altogether exceptional he was.
INDIA HONEST regrets on the state of affairs as seen in this Congress president Sonia Gandhi led UPA's rule, but it has become more curious, why the aam admi face of our nation is silent on this systematic degeneration of the institution ?
Have we lost our vision, or we have decided to remain aloof even with the break down of our administrative backbone, the bureaucrats?
Will the system allow more Vinod Rai, Durga Shakti Nagpal, Ashok Khemka or Keshav Desiraju in future? Why those so called political or non political guardians of the nation,even the watchdogs are shying away and failing from their moral duty and national responsibility to raise their voice against such planned corruption by demoralising the bureaucrats with honesty and integrity.
