While many ex-bureaucrats & diplomats have succeeded in politics before, this phenomenon of joining parties just before elections has grown in recent times.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
The Chinese are said to have hired ex-fighter pilots & air force operators from NATO countries over the past several years to help them fine-tune their operational & flying capabilities.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
Is not the nation wavering and dithering in direction ?
Where is the vision ?
Are we really sincere and committed towards nation’s
progress, development and advancement ?
Is anyone having peace of mind and contentment in
India ?
For the past about a decade or so , it was observed youth
duly qualified in medical profession and IITIANs began
!
Nowadays this trend of IAS, IFS and IPS in huge numbers
making beeline to join politics is quite uncalled for and
unfortunate ! Does this not in a way imply frittering away of
rich and healthy human resources of the nation whimsically
and in futility ?
Which section of society is thesedays loyal to society and nation ?
Is it not a million dollar question ?
Is it not an open secret, barring only a few exceptions most of
the bureaucrats and politicians have been bent upon playing
havoc with the polity, system and nation for their ambitiious,
vested self and material interests !
Amazingly, why all are not equal before law ? Why does not the
Enforcement Directorate and Income Tax Department lay hands
on big fishes among bureaucrats and politicians alike !
Following DEMONETISATION, both these departments did not
discharge their duties fairly and objectively going in for pick and
choose victims sparing a big chunk of big fishes ! Only microscopic
number among bureaucrats and politicians can go scot free but the
majority of them would not be able to face and stand scrutiny !
The problem is who will bell the cat ?
Only and only God can pull the nation out of the pell-mell, chaos,
confusion, restlessness, discontentment and predicament !
This is what I have always wanted ias and ips or anyone who has cleared their upsc exam Shud be the qualification for joining the politics. This might sound absurd but actually this will work. Coz people who knows abt the reality of the nation wide serve better. Jai hind.
For anyone feeling stagnated within the rulebook , for the ambitious to wield more ‘power’, and to ones who feel that they deserve better and capable of hogging more limelight, there is ample opportunity to be on the ‘other’ side. The issue is whether high profile scientists, academicians, biomedical professionals , researchers who have held high posts could also chip in and contribute to welfare of the people of the country as the generalists have shown to do. Prof Murar Yeolekar.
For ower level CGEs,there’s a restriction on re employment within Two years,unless prior permission is granted by government.
On this analogy,the AIS officer s also are to be restricted ,if there’s no such condition.Political party’s membership and in turn becoming legislator or minister also should be brought under the purview of restriction.
Showing partisan politics,while in service will definitely be detrimental as also against oath taken while joining service.
Election Commission and Judicial intervention is urgently called for.
IAS/IPS के पास इलेक्शन लड़ने के लिए पैसा कहां से आता है। अब यह मत कहना कि जनता ने इनको चंदा दिया है।
इस देश का दुर्भाग्य है कि नौकरशाहओं और नेताओं ने मिल कर इस देश को लुटा है।
रिटायरमेंट से पहले और रिटायरमेंट के बाद भी।
राजनीतिक पार्टी भी टिकट केवल इन्हें ही देती हैं।किसी और सरकारी या गैर सरकारी कर्मचारी को शायद ही कभी टिकट या इलेक्शन लड़ा हो।आईएएस में कोई देश सेवा के लिए नहीं आता। इनको लूटने का ज्यादा मौका मिलता है। सब अपनी अपनी औकात के हिसाब से लूटते हैं और इसका चरम मंत्री बनना है।
I concur with Sudhir Rana’s statement.If a Civil Servant joins in a Political Party immediately after he/she demits the office, there is an ever scope of men’s rea by way of abusing power of his office. So, the cooling period is a must to a civil servant;but it should not prohibit him to join in public service as an individual or with a non political organisation.
Conflict of interest is writ large in the civil servants resigning/ retiring and immediately joining political parties. Pawan k verma’s argument of equating them with Bose will find no takers. If there is a cooling off period for taking up corporate jobs why cant the same be applied in politics?…It seems the phenomenan of giving tickets to this group has brought in a kind of lateral entry in Politics!..Additionally; hardly any justification can be given for superseding the long time workers of the party. Hopefully; the introduction of Ethics paper in the examination process of selection of civil servants may bring much needed Ethics in the Administration
Conflict of interest can be easily tracked, and should be dealt with separately. Most corporate houses themselves have rules against conflict of interest. Barring someone from seeking employment violates the basic constitutional right of livelihood. Similarly, barring someone from politics too violates fundamental rights. When these rights are circumscribed, that should be in an extreme case (such as issues involving national security). In the US, it is quite common for bright people to work in a political campaign, and then be appointed bureaucrats., all the while declaring any conflicts of interest. Career bureaucracy is an outdated concept, which we still seem to hold on to.
I feel there should be a cooling off period of 5 years for government babus before they can join politics. This will prevent bootlicking of politicians by the beaurocrates. The previous record of these bunch of self-seeking babus like Ajit Jogi, Mani Shanker Aiyyer etc does not inspire confidence. Those who genuinely seek public service will built their credentials before seeking public office.
What is this article trying to say?
If the author knew what the IAS are all about, he would know that the political acumen (read what is more vote grabbing than the other) is very high. Sometimes even more than that of a regular politician. An IAS Officers has spent years surviving and flourishing in this politically charged environment. More so in under developed states where politicians and bureaucracy is all powerful in itself.
In these times when politics is all about getting power and holding onto it, who else but an IAS Officer to take over the mantle?
What a buch of self serving so called Intelligent Jokers these Politicians, IAS & IPS are. Right of Equality is under threat if not allowed to join Politics without a Cooling Period but no Problem if the same person is barred from joining a Corporation. Then one Shreeman Ji has equated joining a Political Party in Independent India with joining the Freedom Struggle. Bravo. India will alway’s remain just a Developing Country till such Mentally Challenged people are the Elite.

Plz look in Maharashtra…how IPS officer …confess..how she trapped innocent boys of sc/st community …video going viral

Either way dangerous to the country.
Conflict of interest can be easily tracked, and should be dealt with separately. Most corporate houses themselves have rules against conflict of interest.

Career bureaucracy is an outdated concept, which we still seem to hold on to.
With due respect to the honest people even in IAS cadre, it will be a good opportunity to loot more as politician.
Goes against the ethos of the civil service.
I feel there should be a cooling off period of 5 years for government babus before they can join politics. This will prevent bootlicking of politicians by the beaurocrates.
