In Ranchi, the head of the BJP in Jharkhand, Babulal Marandi, has publicly criticized the state government. He claims that Chief Minister Hemant Soren went against Supreme Court orders when he chose Anurag Gupta to be the Director General of Police (DGP).
The problem is that Anurag Gupta’s name wasn’t on the list of recommended candidates from the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). Apparently, this was because of alleged misconduct. Despite these issues, the state government still decided to appoint him as the top police official.
Marandi says the Chief Minister ignored important guidelines from the Supreme Court. He made this point in a statement shared online, emphasizing the BJP’s strong disagreement with the decision. This situation brings up important questions about how the state government makes important decisions, particularly when choosing people for high-level positions.
The main concern is whether the state government followed the correct steps and respected the Supreme Court’s rules when picking the DGP. The BJP’s concerns suggest that political reasons might have played a role in the decision. If that’s true, it could damage the public’s confidence in the fairness of the appointment process.
It’s unclear how the government will respond to these accusations. There may be more investigations into how the DGP was appointed. The outcome of this situation could affect how much people trust the government’s ability to make fair and unbiased decisions.
