Terming the scheduled visit of Chandrababu Naidu to LBS National Academy of Administration, Mussoorie as ironic and paradoxical, YSR Congress has said that nowhere in the country, IAS officers are reduced to subordinates to party functionaries in the name of Janmabhoomi Committees and wings of Collectors and officials are clipped to a point of ridicule.
Speaking to reporters here on Monday party MP, V Varaprasad Rao said, ‘ Chandrababu Naidu going to the Academy to address the probationary officers looks ridiculous as he has been showing scant respect to IAS officers back home with the Janmabhoomi Committee superseding the powers of Collectors and other officials.
The District Collectors do not have any say as all the welfare schemes and many decisions are taken by the Janmabhoomi Committees comprising TDP cadre and leaders and even the Collectors are not in a position to grant a single pension, house or ration card.’
Varaprasad Rao, the former IAS officer who worked with Tamil Nadu Chief Ministers J Jayalalithaa and M Karunanidhi said that Chandrababu Naidu has no moral right to preach when he is practicing a different tune in his home state depriving IAS officers of their rights and posting party cadre ahead of them in administrative matters.
