Babus face heat

In the faceoff between the Delhi government and the Central government, it is the babus who suffer. The two Danics (Delhi, Andaman and Nicobar Islands Civil Service) cadre officials serving in the home department were suspended by the AAP government after they refused to sign a file pertaining to the Cabinet decision to increase salaries of public prosecutors. While the ministry of home affairs has overturned the Delhi government’s order, chief minister Kejriwal has accused Danics and IAS associations in Delhi of becoming “full-fledged B-teams of BJP”. Bureaucrats are doing their job. They shouldn’t be dragged into this tussle.
