#BeyondPhotoOpPolitics

Dadri has been replaced by Ballabgarh. The photo-op politics that feeds on blood of innocents has to come to an end. The brutal death of two infants in ugly violence shows apathy of the state government. In what is said to be a case of personal enmity, police entrusted with the task of ensuring safety of the family shed its responsibility. The fact that it is a Dalit family at personal loss makes matters worse. But for politicians of all hues the Dalit issue is something to draw political dividend. Politicians, who earlier made a beeline to Dadri, to only add fuel to fire, have now turned their eyes to feast on the latest Dalit tragedy. The ruling state government has left a void by not immediately rushing to assuage the grievously hurt sentiments. When will our politicians look beyond themselves?

Transfer & Posting: A True Make In India ‘Brand’

Vineet Chaudhary, Kusumjit Sidhu, Keshni Anand Arora! Do these names ring a bell? No! On a day Ashok Khemka is back in news, these names quietly tell their own story! Vineet Chaudhary, 1982 HP civil servant, holds the record of being the most transferred babu (56 times). Kusumjit Sidhu, 1979 Punjab cadre officer, has been transferred 48 times while 1983 batch Haryana cadre officer Keshni Anand Arora 46 times. Haryana leads the pack with five of the 10 most transferred babus in India. Giving company to Khemka and Arora is Mohammed Shayin, another (2002 batch) Haryana babu; 23 transfers as of date. Haryana earlier gave India Aya Ram Gaya Ram political syndrome and now boasts of being the Transfer/Posting capital of India. As Khemka takes up his new role at the Museum, politicians of all hues are busy building Transfer & Posting as the unique Make In India ‘success’ story!
