After West Bengal’s Mamata Banerjee and Chhattisgarh’s Bhupesh Baghel, now Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren has written to PM Modi asking him to “bury” the Centre’s proposal to amend the IAS (Cadre) Rules.
After West Bengal’s Mamata Banerjee and Chhattisgarh’s Bhupesh Baghel, now Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi asking him to “bury at this stage only” the Centre’s proposal to amend the IAS (Cadre) Rules, 1954.
“The proposed amendments prima facie appear to be more draconian than the previous proposal. I feel constrained to write this letter to express my strong reservations and apprehensions and strongly urge you to bury it at this stage only,” Hemant Soren wrote to PM Modi.
I have written to @PMOIndia expressing strong reservations on the proposed All India Services cadre rule amendments by Govt of India. They promote ‘unilateralism’ rather than ‘cooperative federalism’. I hope he will consider my request and bury the proposal at this stage itself. pic.twitter.com/PXiz9MY52N
Earlier, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee had asked chief ministers of BJP-ruled states to also join the chorus of voices opposing the proposed amendments.
In his letter, Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren said the amendments only purposed seems to be to force any officer of the All India Services who is serving in the affairs of a state to come on deputation to the central government without the consent of the officer or the state government concerned.
