Bihar unit of BJP is unhappy with the officers loyal to the chief minister, Nitish Kumar.
Last week, state BJP president Sanjay Jaiswal had alleged officers were not listening to the grievances of the people and elected representatives. Today, senior party legislator and former union minister Sanjay Paswan threatened he would launch a campaign against bureaucrats loyal to the chief minister.
Speaking at a seminar on Energising Bihar organised by the Centre for environment and energy development here, Paswan said the state was being ruled by only ten officers who are personally loyal to Nitish Kumar. According to him, six of these officers are posted in chief minister secretariat
Paswan said these officers have a false ego that only they possessed wisdom of the world and the elected representatives were fools.It is regrettable, Paswan said even those ministers who have degrees from abroad and are highly qualified are being ill treated by the IAS officers who have occupied their positions:”by passing an examination only.”
The senior BJP leader said the officers were not meeting any one, not even their ministers who are being treated with contempt. They listen to Nitish Kumar only, he claimed.
Paswan said the officers in Bihar needed to be trained in public behaviour. They should be vibrant to fulfill the needs of the common man, Paswan said.
Last week, state BJP president Sanjay Jaiswal had also alleged the officers were not responsive. He alleged even the sub-inspectors of police at Thana level misbehaved with MPs in Bihar.
