The UPSC is a central body while police is a state subject, but after a Supreme Court order in January, it has to get involved in the selection of DGPs.
The Saradha scam, at the heart of the CBI-Mamata standoff, first shook the state in 2013 dragging politicians, mostly from the Trinamool Congress, into the case.
IMF expects hyper-inflation in Venezuela to hit 10 million per cent in 2019, nearly 10 times more than the 1.37 million per cent inflation rate predicted for 2018.
BJP has been at the receiving end of a lot of flak for its decision to grant citizenship to non-Muslim refugees from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Greens have a sizeable support in the Western countries with clean air and blue skies, but not in India, where poisonous air, water and soil kill millions.
The helicopters produced by Lockheed Martin are known as ‘submarine hunters’. India ordered 24 of these aircraft in 2020 to replace the Sea King helicopters. 15 have been delivered till date.
The India-South Africa series-defining fact is the catastrophic decline of Indian red ball cricket where a visiting team can mock us with the 'grovel' word.
Sometimes SC stirs up controversy. If anyone questions it is contempt of court. Does the SC not aware that police is state subject? Why a commission for an examination given the job of selecting DGP of the state? Slowly SC takes away the rights of the states. It is like fiddling fascist centre when the state is on fire. See how the CBI officers are transferred. Are they imbeciles and morons who do not know the meaning of scheme? Are they men who do not follow what befalls on CBI? They act like they are not aware. You can wake up a sleeping man but difficult to wake up a man of pretence!
Rajasthan is not the only state where DGP was removed without completion of tenure. Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Chhattisgarh and J&K also removed the DGPs unceremoniously. The Apex Court will fo well to review all these cases if justice is to prevail.
The Print should also do s story on the removals before completion of tenures and immediately after change of government.
Congress / BJP / Left / TMC / JDU. Observe the rare, all party consensus when it comes to states wanting their own man as DGP. CMs, especially those from regional parties, who do not have a high command in Delhi, run a very tight ship. To a greater extent than the civil service, the police is completely aligned with the political executive. Not much, with respect, the apex court can do to change the situation. 2. On a point of principle, selecting DGPs is not the UPSC’s job. Its task ends with selecting mandarins at the point of entry. It also needs to be consulted in the matter of disciplinary proceedings. Another task is advising when state service officers are inducted into the IAS / IPS, where again state governments have their favourites.
