Hyderabad: The decision of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao Telangana to accept the recommendations of the public representatives of transfers of government job has become controversial.
Mr. Rao has been repeatedly assuring "zero political corruption" in the management of government since taking office on June 2.
However, this measure goes against this ideal if you go through the history of government job transfers that can open the floodgates of "political corruption."
Teachers offer Rs 1 lakh to Rs 3 lakh a transfer function of the location while offering RDOs and MROs over Rs 10 lakh.
If the huge amount of money changing hands for the transfer of the DSP, the SIS and credit institutions in the police department and executive engineers and assistant engineers in irrigation, roads and buildings and departments you consider panchayat raj, transfers from government employment could become a lucrative business for politicians who would mint money within a short period of time.
Mr. Rao, during his meeting with party MLAs, MLC and deputies TRS Bhavan on Friday came out with the proposal taking into account the recommendation of public representatives for transferring employees. He sought a rational electoral list of transfers from them.
Telangana government said it would consider the recommendations of transferring public representatives virtually opening the doors to open sales positions.
Existing transfer rates:
DSP: Rs 20 lakh to Rs 25 lakh
RDOs: Rs 15 lakh to Rs 20 lakh
OPF: Rs 10 lakh to Rs 15 lakh
IC: Rs 5 lakh to 6 lakh
SIs: Rs 3 lakh Rs 5 lakh
Rs 1 lakh to Rs 3 lakh professors
Divisional Engineers: Rs 5 lakh to Rs 10 lakh
Engineers Executives: Rs 5 lakh to Rs 7 lakh
Engineers Assistance: Rs 3 lakh to Rs 5 lakh
Within 24 hours of public decision to become Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao, Telangana Secretariat humming with activity with MLAs and MLC overland cameras revive ministers transferring files that have been accumulating dust from June 2.
With the Prime Minister saying a non-strict for transfers based on the recommendations of public representatives these days promising 'zero political corruption "in management, business transfer was beaten upset MLAs, MLC and others.
Ideally employee merit and necessity must be the criteria for transfers and shipments. With the latest move, employees seeking transfers are necessarily dependent on the mercy of ruling party MLAs, MLC and Members. Otherwise, they will be forced to continue in existing locations.
"There are critical areas like law and order, Naxalism among others, where efficient officers must be appointed. If you are appointed officials in these areas based on the recommendations of MLAs and MLC and not by merit and honesty, which will have serious implications for the safety and security as well as the objectives of giving a clean and good government would go for a launch, "said a senior official. He said the new rules would mean CLM MLAs and ministers in constituencies and districts would have the final say in making the transfer of employees.
"All these years, they could approach the ministers and the CMO at the Secretariat used to lobby for transfers by paying a certain amount. This number does not exceed 10,000 a year. But with the last movement to give recommendation powers public representatives constituency-wise, applications would cross 50,000 in a year. this is not a healthy and clean signal and good governance can not be achieved with this, "said another senior official in panchayat raj department.
