Raipur. Former Pali-Tanakhar MLA Ramdayal Uike has opened a front against DD Singh, a contractual officer in the General Administration Department. Uike has written a letter to Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai requesting him to cancel the contractual appointment instead of giving extension to the officer.
Former MLA Ramdayal Uike, in a letter to Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai, described DD Singh, who was working at the secretary level in the General Administration Department, as an officer with Congress mentality. He said that apart from trying for Congress ticket from Katghora assembly, he campaigned in favor of Congress candidate in his assembly constituency Pali Tanakhar, due to which BJP had to suffer loss in the assembly elections.
Uike said that the officers who had become unruly in the Bhupesh Baghel government are still engaged in Congress traditional jugaad. He said that all this is happening in the General Administration Department, which is responsible for important tasks like transfer of administrative staff, establishment of vacant posts, contractual appointment and giving guidance in matters like extension.
The former MLA said that during the tenure of the previous government of DD Singh, the strength of the CM Secretariat was much different from that of Soumya Chaurasia. DD Singh is once again trying to get an extension, which is still under contract. Uike said that if the above mentioned officer is given extension on contract, then the image of the government will not only be tarnished but also the lobby of officers involved in jugaad in the bureaucracy will become active again.
