Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru (SP)

Bengaluru, Sep 28: Dashing the hopes of current additional chief secretary of the state, Ratnaprabha, the chief minister (CM), Siddaramaiah, on Tuesday September 27, signed the file relating to the appointment of IAS officer, Subhash Chandra Khuntia as the new chief secretary of the state. He will take over from Arvind Jadhav who is retiring on superannuation at the end of this month.

Sources in the office of the CM said that official orders are expected to be issued in this connection by Friday. Services of Khuntia, a Karnataka cadre IAS officer, had been lent to the central government. He has been released by the centre at the request of the state.

It is said that a large section of IAS officers in the state had lobbied hard in favour of Khuntia, to the detriment of Ratnaprabha. Ratnaprabha, whose name had figured even during the process of selecting the current chief secretary, again lost a chance to become one, although a faction of IAS officers strongly stood by her side. Sources claim that professional rivalry between current chief secretary, Arvind Jadhav and Ratnaprabha too worked against her.

    Once an officer gets into the I A S, his or her caste becomes irrelevant. Performance alone should matter. Khuntia as excellent academic qualifications and lots of experience. He is also senior to other aspirants. He is the right choice in the circumstances.

    Khuntia has been shunted from department to department at the Centre and does not have any progressive thought process, but what he is - is extremely cunning , scheming & corrupt. These qualities are what Siddu is seeing him

    Certain decisions of the Government are taken in the best interest of the State. Yediyurappa should not mix caste with governance for gaining political mileage. On the one hand in the BJP ruled states the dalits are beaten up and in Karnataka they are shedding crocodile tears in favour of an officer to be the CS of Karnataka. People can see through their game.
