My response to news appearing on what the Honble CM has reportedly said and published in the newspapers today. (Aug 6th 2018)
—————————————-
By regular negative statements about the responsibility and accountability of the Lt Governor’s office and exhortations to public officials to undermine the directions of the Lt Governor, I am not sure whether the Honble Chief Minister is realising that he is always hurting the speed of progress Puducherry, of which he is the Chief Minister.
If progress be his primary interest then he would not make such public pronouncements.
The responsibilities of the Lt Governor Office are clearly laid down under the Law and Rules. And if anyone needs to know, may please read them.
Even the recent Supreme Court Judgement about Delhi affairs the Honble Judges have “hastened to add that it does not apply to Puducherry”. (Para 180)
I have by now spent over 26 months in Puducherry. Had the CM not weakened the collective efforts, and supported and asked his colleagues too, we would have been number one UT in India in all parameters.
I only wish to say as far as the office of Lt Governor is concerned it shall continue to follow the Law and the Rules and serve people of Puducherry to the maximum and continue to be a ‘People’s Nivas’ as their right.
As far as Public officials are concerned Senior Officers know that LG is their ‘Accepting Authority’ as per their Performance Appraisals are concerned.
Hence their final assessment gets accepted or rejected here.
If they want outstanding reports they have to justify them by year round work.
