The largest fallout of the change in dispensation at the Centre is
seen in Delhi. The governance of Delhi is at a cross-roads. Union Home Minister
Rajnath Singh appears to be reluctant to change the administrative machinery.
BJP leaders in Delhi are also in a fix, though they are in power nobody heeds
their opinion in the system. Lt Governor of Delhi Najeeb Jung and Chief
Secretary DM Sapolia are holding the fort. It’s been almost a year now that the
entire administration is virtually being run by the coterie of their former
boss, Sheila Dikshit. The presence and influence of Sheila loyalists can be
felt in every department. AGMUT and DANICS cadre officers who are posted
outside Delhi are not being allowed to move in. Officers who have applied to
join the Delhi government are being shunted out of Delhi. Generally, whenever
there is a regime change, the administrative machinery is also reshuffled but a
particular lobby of Sheila loyalists and Sapolia are not allowing the Home
Ministry to touch them. The Joint Secretary (Union Territory) is regularly
updating the Home Minister on the plight of AGMUT and DANICS cadre officers,
but busy Rajnath Singh is not able to spare time to oil the Delhi government
machinery. Everybody is waiting for the results of the Delhi Assembly
elections. Maybe that will have some effect.
