Rohini moves HC, says mining mafia behind her transfer

Bengaluru, Mar 25: Hassan Deputy Commissioner Rohini Sindhuri Dasari has moved the High Court of Karnataka challenging the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) order, asking her to give representation to the Chief Secretary against her transfer order.

The petition is likely to come up for hearing on Monday. The petition states that the CAT's order directing her to appeal to the Chief Secretary is against the nature of justice as she has to make an appeal to the very authority who ordered her transfer. Going back to the Chief secretary is being ``virtually pushed towards the wall'', the petition said. She has termed her mounting grievances in this regard as 'pimple on the boil' in the petition.

Rohini has contended in the petition that IAS cadre posts have a fixed tenure of two years as per the rules and, despite this she is being transferred as the Hassan Deputy Commissioner for political reasons. The petition claimed she had cracked down on the mining mafia, which had enraged the local politicians who carried a tirade against her to the chief minister who directed for her premature transfer after succumbing to the political pressure. The petition states that many IAS officers with long tenure have been spared without subjecting to transfers. Rohini has urged the court to quash the transfer order of March 3, 2018 and the Tribunal's order of March 21, 2018. She stated that she has not approached the chief secretary, as directed by the CAT since there is a likelihood of enforcement of her transfer order with effect from March 26, outer limit fixed by the CAT to maintain a status quo. She further stated if the transfer order is implemented hurriedly, the petition becomes infructuous, and would cause injustice to her.

Rohini has made the principal secretary, Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms (DPAR), secretary, Department of Personnel and Training, Government of India, and Randeep, deputy commissioner, Mysuru, who had to replace her as the Hassan DC, as respondents. Rohini, who assumed charge as Hassan deputy commissioner in July 2017, was transferred on January 22, 2018.

    Such bold conscientious non-conformist female/male IAS/IPS/Technical Officers have been transferred in other states also, courtesy the concerned chief ministers at the instance of some of their highly questionable ministers. High time such transfer orders are challenged more & more in High Courts in other states also. A toplevel IIT Engineer had his own way of handling such frequent transfer postings. He came duly prepared at the new place of posting along with a brief case and suitcase; ready to move out again even in six months but not ready to compromise even on instructions from above. .

        Bengaluru, Jan 19: Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Sunday said he has had detailed discussions with BJP National President Amit Shah on the cabinet expansion and that the exercise would be carried out after his return from Davos.

        The Chief Minister told reporters before leaving for Davos to attend the World Economic Forum meet that he hoped his visit would help bring in large-scale investments to the state. "On cabinet expansion, I had detailed discussions for about half-an-hour (with Amit Shah on Saturday), got a good response... one or two days after I come from Davos, I will expand the cabinet. There are no stumbling blocks for it", Yediyurappa said.

        He also rubbished media reports about a lack of clarity on the Ministry expansion. "It is not right... there are no issues", he said.

        Asked whether he would travel to Delhi to meet Shah after returning from Davos, Yediyurappa merely said, "It is natural for me to meet Amit Shah." According to the Chief Minister's tour programme, he will be back in the city on January 24.

        Yediyurappa, along with Union ministers Piyush Goyal and Mansukh Mandaviya, as well as Chief Ministers Amarinder Singh of Punjab and Kamal Nath of Madhya Pradesh, are among those expected to join over 100 Indian CEOs at Davos in the coming days for the WEF's 50th annual meeting.

        Stating that he was leaving on a four day trip for Davos with an aim to bring investments to the state, he said interactions have been fixed with 38 industrialists and investors. "There is a large possibility of investments coming to the state from meetings during the WEF meet. I will assure industrialists and investors that the government will give all necessary facilities within our limits and also clear all the doubts that they have," the Chief Minister said. He said employment opportunities in Karnataka would increase due to all these efforts.

        Claiming that the economic situation in Karnataka was stable despite the global economic slowdown, he said the state was also organising the Global Investors Meet in November to attract industries and create employment opportunities.

        The delegation led by Yediyurappa includes Industries Minister Jagadish Shettar, Chief Secretary T M Vijaya Bhaskar and top officials of the state government. The Chief Minister, who was anxiously waiting for the high command's nod to expand his ministry amid intense lobbying by the aspirants, was keen on getting approval for it from Shah, but was asked to visit Delhi after returning from Davos, party sources said.

        They also said that with J P Nadda all set to take over as BJP National President, he would have final discussions with Yediyurappa on the Ministry expansion exercise. S R Vishwanath, Political Secretary to the Chief Minister too said that Yediyurappa would go to Delhi after his return from Davos and immediately expand the Ministry.

        He said the Chief Minister has been asked to hold discussions with Nadda, who is currently BJPs National Working President and finalise things.

        As the Chief Minister has already made it clear that 11 of the disqualified JDS-Congress MLAs who got re-elected in the bypolls on BJP tickets will be made ministers, lobbying has been on in the party for the remaining ministerial berths. Currently, there are 18 Ministers, including the Chief Minister in the cabinet that has a sanctioned strength of 34.

        However, with some reports that the high command may not be keen on making all the 11 re-elected legislators, whom Yediyurappa has given assurance, as Ministers, it remains to be seen how things turn out. Cabinet expansion will not be an easy task for the Chief Minister as he will have to strike a balance by accommodating the victorious disqualified legislators as promised and also make a place for old guards, upset at being "neglected" in the first round of the induction exercise.

        He also has to give adequate representation to various castes and regions in his cabinet and also deal with the allocation of key portfolios. Also, disqualified legislators who lost on a BJP ticket during the bypolls like A H Vishwanath (Hunsur) openly expressing their ministerial aspirations has added to the Chief Minister's worry.
