“Rath Prabharis” to Nodal Officers: Will the Name Change help in depoliticising Bureaucracy?

A Legal Researcher -
The latest incursion by the Modi 2.0 government, in galvanising officers from India’s central administrative service to showcase it’s government schemes, on the eve of five state elections and six months before the 2024 general questions raises serious questions of constitutional proprietary and overreach; as crucially it flags the question on why the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) with its widely eulogised mantle of electoral prowess, would after nine years in power, need this additional crutch!

Encounters in custody are shockingly common in India and can be said to be a result of the slow and dysfunctional judicial system of India. Often cases are seen to get delayed, evidence is destroyed or lost, witnesses turn hostile, and the defendants buy their freedom. But the response of the police by taking the law into their own hands is even more threatening for the judicial system in India. Encounters usually end with dead criminals and not at all scathed police, raising multiple questions as to the necessity of use of such force by the police.

Waghmare served as the Principal Secretary of Medical Education and Drugs department with additional charge of Employment Guarantee Scheme in Maharashtra and resigned only after this appointment, a development that raises serious questions of a conflict of interest: the SC in 2021 has held that SECs have to be "independent persons" not occupying a post under the Centre or state governments
