Modi govt stopped Kejriwal from appointing anti-corruption officer
| | | | | | | The Narendra Modi government ran down the clock for 16 months before the Appointments Committee of Cabinet, led by the Prime Minister, ultimately rejected Magsaysay award winning Indian Forest Service officer Sanjiv Chaturvedi’s request to serve as Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s anti-corruption officer, official documents reviewed by HuffPost India reveal.
As a consequence, the term of Chaturvedi’s central deputation had ended by the time the ACC finally handed down its decision — making it pointless for him to challenge its decision.
These bureaucratic delays, despite repeated directions from the Central Administrative Tribunal to give time bound decisions, and the subsequent rejection of Chaturvedi’s request was choreographed by current Election Commissioner Ashok Lavasa, who was the environment Secretary at the time, seemingly at the behest of the Modi government. |
