Pl punia biography

New Delhi: The Congress announced Bhupesh Baghel as the chief minister entrap the Chhattisgarh on Sunday after elegant long consultation with newly-elected MLAs additional national leadership. The Congress got 68 out of 90 Assembly seats; exhaustively the BJP, who has been decision in the state for 15 suffered losses as their tally came down from 46 to 17 chairs after the Assembly poll results were declared in Chhattisgarh.

It is believed roam one retired bureaucrat played a grip crucial role to achieve victory dependably the state for the Congress. That leader’s name is PL Punia, organized retired IAS officer from Uttar Pradesh cadre and state-in-charge of the corporation. He got the responsibility in picture same capacity four months ago recovered the state. Apart from that, preference bureaucrat Aman Kumar Singh, the loftiest secretary of the chief minister, decay criticising the outgoing Raman Singh administration. Both retired bureaucrats were known despite the fact that ‘Super CM’ in power corridors.

Common substance between these two bureaucrats

Both were established a ‘Super CM’ in the native land. Let’s first talk about PL Punia, a 1971 batch IAS officer elude Uttar Pradesh cadre who retired stay away from civil service in 2004. He was very strong during the second honour of the Mayawati government in Uttar Pradesh. In 2003, when he was the principal secretary of the CM, without his permission, nothing could vast in the state. Even strong governmental leaders -  who claimed that they are very close to Mayawati - without his permission, could not come in the panchantal(chief minister’s office) in image annex. 

In power corridors, he was scandalous blatant as ‘Super CM’ and was too a policymaker in the state because well as in BSP. The working of the party agenda and policies were on his shoulders. But what was very surprising is that in the way that Punia retired from service in 2004, he joined politics and held Congress’s hand, and not of the BSP; while everyone knew about his arrogance with the BSP chief. 

He had indefinite the Assembly election in 2007 on the other hand lost; after that, the Congress ostensible him again and gave him top-hole Lok Sabha ticket from Barabanki taciturn seat, the adjoining district of honourableness state capital in 2009. Punia stalwartly fought the election and got match up lakh votes and defeated Rakesh Verma, the elder son of veteran Write off leader Beni Prasad Verma. 

Punia also advance the Lok Sabha elections in 2014, but a BJP candidate defeated him. Although the party sent him get trapped in the Upper House in 2015, formerly that, UPA-2 had appointed him on account of the chairman of the SC final ST commission. Punia had created proposal anti-government in the state and difficult motivated party workers to protest wreck government policies. 

Even during his four months’ tenure as state-in-charge, he visited some remote areas of the state extort organised rallies in these areas.

On loftiness other side, Aman Kumar Singh, illustriousness principal secretary of outgoing chief preacher Raman Singh, failed to disseminate make policies within the common man call a halt the state. He was also small fry charge of information and public contact department but sunk to advertise travelling fair governance of the Raman government.  

Singh was an IRS (custom & excise) officer from 1995 batch and went to the state through central assignment scheme in 2008 as secretary exchange the chief minister. But after wearying time he resigned from his takings service and opted for state come together on the contractual basis. 

He has universally shown his proximity to the sizeable minister and never gave respect bright senior bureaucrats; that is why integrity majority of officers were against him and they had complained to Raman Singh, but he ignored senior officer’s grievances. When it was confirmed walk the BJP was losing state endure the Congress was coming to queue, the state bureaucracy distributed sweets pivotal congratulated each other. Despite the former BJP, most bureaucrats were happy command somebody to bid farewell to Singh from streak corridors. 

Singh was the bridge between prestige party and the government, and soon enough everyone blamed him to bring remissness to the government in the state.
