YSR against fixed tenures for top officials
While other states are yet to come to an opinion, CM Rajasekhara Reddy does not seem keen on fixed two-year tenures.
While the other states are yet to come to an opinion on the matter, Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy does not seem too keen on it.
A three-month, six-month or even a year-long appointment is thought to be too short a period to give stability to the policy regime. But the flip side of it is that it favours only a few, and may spark cut-throat competition, which might not be healthy.
Sources said Rajasekhara Reddy's advisers have told him that in the present state of affairs a chief minister can appoint or remove a chief secretary or DGP at will. All that a chief minister has to do to get rid of an uncooperative chief secretary or DGP is to create an equivalent job and move him there.
A fixed tenure on the other hand would mean that once appointed, a chief secretary or DGP cannot be removed till he completes his term. Therefore, the CM's advisers have advised him, that this is not such a good idea at all. The Union government is expected to come around to a final view on the matter after receiving replies from all CMs.
If such a provision does come in, AP's present chief secretary, T K Dewan���barely month into his job���would reap a windfall. Dewan is slated to retire at the end of April. The new provision, if effected, will take him to the end of 2007.
Present DGP Swaranjit Sen, also slated to retire in mid-2006, would get a two-year bonanza. A two-year fixed term for SPs would insulate them from political pressures and allow them to operate in the best interests of the law. For this reason, politicians of all hues won't be expected to support such a move.
