BJD, Congress raise questions on Odisha govt’s lobbying warning

BHUBANESWAR: The Opposition BJD and Congress on Tuesday came down heavily on the state government over its diktat to employees against using ‘extraneous pressure’ for transfer and posting, alleging it has exposed large scale corruption in such affairs under the present government.

Senior BJD leader Bhrugu Baxipatra told mediapersons, the letter of chief secretary Manoj Ahuja has brought to the fore that the ruling party politicians and bureaucrats are not on the same page. It has also showed that the chief minister and ministers are not in control of the administration.
