The first face off!

 

The first direct interaction between the newly appointed Chief Secretary and the Chief Minister did not go off too well. Just half hour after Avni Vaish took charge as 27th CS of State, he was to attend the mass Vande Mataram recital at Mantralaya in presence of the CM.

 

As per protocol, the CS receives the CM on the arrival of the latter at the venue and both the heads stand together for the recital programme. But call it first time ignorance of Vaish, he decided to remain standing with other officials of Mantralaya even as the CM arrived. The CM too, did not approach the CS and stood for the recital near some of the ministers present.

 

The fact that the CM did not enjoy the departure of protocol became obvious at end of the function. The CM passed before Vaish on his way to leave, but did not acknowledge the new CS at all. The first face off this ?

MP connection in Ruchika’s case

 

The high profile Ruchika case, which is grabbing the headlines these day’s is having an unusual Madhya Pradesh connection. The lawyer wife of the SPS Rathore, the former DGP accused in the case is the sister of former Chief Secretary of Madhya Pradesh, AV Singh.

 

Singh is presently working as the State Election Commissioner and since the issue has become quite controversial he is also worried. Sources close to AV are aware of this connection. AV sister and his brotherin-law also visited Bhopal on few occasions. As the case is discussed widely, the poor brother is keeping his fingures crossed, with the hope that 'every thing' will go all right.
