The party has taken the feedback seriously as discontent is simmering in party workers for quite some time - evident from the debacle in the by polls.
Two important pillars of governance - bureaucrats and ministers - are in a tizzy. Both are expecting reshuffle for a while now. There have been speculations that bureaucracy will have a major shake up before the assembly elections. Even in a feedback meeting with BJP office bearers, ministers have reportedly complained against bureaucracy for not cooperating them in carrying out public work, especially work related to party workers. The party has taken the feedback seriously as discontent is simmering in party workers for quite some time - evident from the debacle in the by polls.
According to sources, there will be large scale transfers of district collectors and other administrative officers manning districts. “Few MLAs will have say in appointment of district collectors in their respective areas. This will help the party win in the assembly polls,” said a BJP leader.
The government will also change officers staying for long period. Some senior officers helming hot seats are approaching CMO and chief secretary opting for a lesser important portfolio, just six months before the elections. They fear that if the government changes, officers may be penalised or sent into cold storage over the notion that the officer was closer to the BJP government.
"There are few posts in government which are held only by those officers who are trustworthy of the chief minister. So notwithstanding their talent and disposal, they are replaced immediately after the government changes. So officers on hot seats throughout the tenure requests for a non significant position," said a senior IAS officer.
This is a recent change. The new government reviews key decisions of incumbent government and penalise officers handling hot seats. They sometimes have to undergo imprisonment also in some cases.
"That factor now haunts officers and they unassumingly requests for weak postings," said an officer who had suffered this ignominy.
