An unfavorable siege

A government’s congenial relations with its administration reflects its positive attitude, propensity to shape an ideal work culture and to maintain constancy in work proceedings. But, the recent development in Delhi is unfortunate and does not befit a democratic structure. It is significant that Delhi chief secretary Ansh Prakash, during a meeting at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence, was allegedly assaulted by AAP leaders.

The unfavorable siege between the Delhi government and bureaucrats after the incident brought the entire government system to a dogmatic halt. Despite their demands of apologies and legal actions, senior officers attended a meeting of Delhi cabinet and bureaucrats in the last week of February. But, undoubtedly the impasse is intact, so far. Because, this was for the first time, perhaps, the cabinet meeting of a state government was held under the security circle.

Indeed, Chief Secretary Ansh Prakash, coupled with Delhi Home Secretary Manoj Parida and Finance Secretary SN Sahay,  was given a security cover of more than a dozen cops, when he arrived at a meeting to discuss Delhi’s budget format for next fiscal year.
