Today Delhi Government admitted that it appointed AAP members on huge salary as private staff in Delhi Government. These people are being paid between 60,000 and 1.5 lakhs a month. These people are neither elected representatives of the people nor they are appointed on the basis of test of merit conducted by a government authorities. These kinds of appointments are unethical and should be illegal in Indian law.
Arvind Kejriwal came to power with promise of an ethical government but is now indulging in every unethical practice which he can afford. He wants to put his pet people in key posts even if they are not qualified for that or not. If a CM needs personal staff to help him then he should choose them from a pool of qualified pool of IAS official and not from unqualified workers of his political party.
Arvind Kejriwal had been speaking against unqualified people being elected to Assembly and Parliament but now he is putting unqualified people in post which are exclusively of qualified people. This is not right.
Most shocking is case of appointing a driver who does not have a driving license and have not passed 10th class. Was he most qualified and deserving candidate in whole Delhi to be appointed as diver? I know many people with a valid driving license and with 10th class certificate who are willing to do CM's driver's job. Why could CM not find any such person in Delhi?
NEW DELHI: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has appointed party members as staff in the Delhi government and are getting benefits such as official house and cars, the party admitted on Tuesday. The government admitted in the state assembly that house has been allotted to Bibhav Kumar, private secretary to CM and Aswathi Muralidharan, joint secretary to CM, in the reply to questions asked by BJP MLA OP Sharma.
The government also disclosed that the salary of those appointed as staff is equivalent to senior IAS officers.
“Everything has been done as per the rule and there is nothing illegal about it,” a Delhi government spokesperson said.
Few AAP members have been appointed as private secretaries to ministers. The staff is paid between ` 60,000 and ` 1.15 lakh a month. The Opposition raised question on giving house to party volunteers. Of the 81 sanctioned posts, 21 are in the chief minister’s office while every minister can hire 10 staff.
According to the reply submitted in the assembly, the government has given exemptions to few staff as they were not meeting the criteria. “Driver Mahesh Kumar has been given time of three months and one year to get light motor vehicle commercial license and class 10th certificate respectively,” the reply said.
