Why are top babus meeting Jaitley and Swaraj?

April 20, 2013 17:11

A correspondent from Delhi reports: Buzz at the BJP headquarters in Delhi suggests that at least ten to fifteen senior IPS and IAS officers have been secretly meeting Leaders of Opposition Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitely to indicate their neutrality and explain their predicament on some important file notings, during the UPA government's regime.

The BJP has further hardened its opposition to the appointment of former NIA chief S C Sinha as a member of the National Human Rights Commission.

These bureaucrats, some of whom are two or three years away from retirement, are scared that the Congress-led coalition will crumble, the BJP-led NDA will come to power and Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi will take over the prime minister's post.

They are trying to secure their future posting etc via such clandestine meetings.
