Akhilesh undertakes biggest reshuffle of bureaucracy

Lucknow: The
11-month-old Akhilesh Yadav government has undertaken the biggest
reshuffle of the bureaucracy by transferring 51 Indian
Administrative Service, 48 Provincial Civil Service, 88 Indian
Police Service and 92 Provincial Police Service officials.
Many of those shifted were considered close to the ruling
Samajwadi Party (SP) but were shown the door after almost a "year
of dismal and poor performance", a close aide of the chief
minister said.
The transfer list was released midnight and caught many officials
unaware as it was a holiday Monday and the chief minister only
recently had undertaken a major reshuffle of the babudom.
Officials inform that these en masse transfers were long overdue
as the SP government was completing one year and its ratings among
the people remained average or poor.
"Old loyalists have been given an year in plum postings, those who
failed to deliver have been cut to size as the chief minister does
not want their lethargy to hit party's prospects in the Lok Sabha
polls whenever they are held," a senior ruling party functionary
told IANS.
The state government had only recently affected a reshuffle by
changing the district magistrates and police chiefs of almost 50
districts.
