Mr CM please pay attention to the Bureaucrats Habit of Self Indulgence

Dear Mr CM,

I wish to invite your attention on the issue of Ex CS Mr Ratnakar Gaikwad's self indulgence in creating beneficial facilities for their own selves. I have nothing personal against or for Mr Gaikwad, it is the issue of moral's ethics, which lays the basics of good governance. We don't know how many more bureaucrats have similarly misused the system before or may be misusing the system even now. But they have this habit of terming themselves as holy cows.

The issue of Mr Gaikwad is very simple, he occupied a house, which he was entitled to as Metropolitan Commissioner of MMRDA. But after promotion as CS he continued to occupy the same pent house ad measuring 8000 sq ft. After his being appointed as CS, the GAD issued two different allotment orders with regard to his accommodation as CS. The 1st order dt 18/01/2011 has mentioned that Mr Gaikwad is being allotted a house on JETVAN bldg in BKC and will continue to use the 8-9th floor pent house which he occupied as MMRDA commissioner till the time a new MMRDA Commissioner is appointed. Once a new MMRDA Commissioner is appointed Mr Gaikwad will have to shift to a flat on the 6th Floor in the same bldg, namely JETVAN.

After taking charge as CS, Mr Gaikwad may have used his position to modify the previous order dt 18/01/2011 and the GAD issued a fresh order for allotment on date 16/03/2011 stating that Mr Gaikwad may continue to use the flat which he was occupying as MMRDA Commissioner for further periods without having to pay rent.

It is important to note that the flat the he occupied was reserved for the person holding MMRDA Commissioners post. whereas the new order did not specify what arrangements was done for the new incumbent MMRDA Commissioner. Finally the incumbent MMRDA Commissioner was made to stay in the 6th floor flat which was allotted to MR Gaikwad.

The irony of the fact is that the MMRDA Commissioner continues to occupy the 6th floor flat, whereas Mr Gaikwad still lords over the Pent house though he has retired as CS, but it is another case that he got himself appointed as Chief Information Commissioner (CIC). The MMRDA has issued a letter cum notice to Mr Gaikwad to pay Rs 1,33,232=00 for using telephone, Internet Data card, MGL connection and electricity bill, out of which Mr Gaikwad has paid only Rs 15,536=00 out of the same.

I wish to highlight here that one should learn from Manohar Joshi (Ex CM) & R R Patil (Ex - Dy CM), who quit their official bungalows within one hour of resigning from their respective posts.

I wish to request you to kindly take a review meeting of all the activities of the bureaucrats as well as Ministers etc to maintain discipline on such issues. The concerned departments should be instructed to take strict action on the errant babu's.

Yours Faithfully,

Anil Galgali,
Chairman
