Do you have such evidence? Cabinet Secretaries are always political appointees -- the first few incumbents, all ICS officers, were respected by Nehru and his colleagues for integrity and probity. Since then, these are not character and professional attributes that are critical factors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809414561174316144.post-17087456900695914232014-06-03T14:04:31.146+05:302014-06-03T14:04:31.146+05:30if all the above are true...........still he becam...if all the above are true...........still he became Cabinet Secretary. what is the point of being a brilliant officer when u cannot become a cabinet secretary ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809414561174316144.post-19275773994210671352014-06-03T12:18:59.276+05:302014-06-03T12:18:59.276+05:30Ajit Seth is known to have no opinion on anything....Ajit Seth is known to have no opinion on anything. Therefore conflict is out of question. Secondly he does not have any qualities of having ever taken a stand. Thirdly Sonia selected Manmohan and Sonia selected Seth. Everyone knows Sonia selects the weakest & meekest with zero leadership qualities. NaMo must have realized Ajit Seth was hardly a threat, rather he could be an asset as he will willingly spill the beans. Remember during fag end of tenure of UPA Govt. how some Secretary level officers started throwing tantrums & speaking out openly against Ministers. Sudhir Krishna gave written complaint against Chidambaram. Jawahar Sircar blamed Manish Tiwari's I & B Ministry of interference when NaMO interview was edited. Therefore I will not be surprised if Ajit Seth has started cosying up to new Govt. He desperately wanted to become first LokPal & pressurized Manmohan who tried his best to push for his appointment in a clumsily hasty manner before election code. The bureaucracy is a chameleon and can change its colours. Changing loyalty is no big deal & so is spilling the beans. Sanjay Baru has shown the way.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719071930907490748noreply@blogger.com
