mumbai confidential: Plum Post

The Election Commission of India has shot down the government’s request for permission to transfer batch IAS officer Ashwani Kumar from the post of Principal Secretary and Chief Electoral Officer, Maharashtra. The CM-led general administration department had proposed to shift him as an Additional Municipal Commissioner in the Mumbai municipality. But with elections round the corner, the commission has declined it. Speculation is rife that the state’s proposal for transfer was on account of complaints allegedly raised by some IAS officers and Kumar’s own staff against his style of functioning.

After the Central Vigilance Committee wrote to the state demanding an investigation over the unusual spike in the transaction volumes in Bakshi’s case, the CM has asked Chief Secretary Dinesh Kumar Jain to personally look into the matter. While Bakshi had earlier submitted a one-page explanation, sources said a more detailed response has now been sought.
