Sir,
This has reference to the news item ‘Govt should talk to Governors’ DE June 20.
The Central Government has made its mind to appoint new Governors in place of the incumbent ones. The way this issue has been highlighted through media has taken some sheen off the gubernatorial post.
The new Government led by PM Narendra Modi is expected to lay foundation for a new India where selction of people on responsible posts such as Governor’s is not made on political considerations but on merit. First of all, the gubernatorial post should not be a rehabilitation centre for political ‘rejects’ or party veterans who could not be accommodated in government.
Second there is the option of dispensing with the post. The post does not serve much, other than being ceremonial.
And in case the sanctity of the post is to be maintained then people with political affiliations should not be appointed at all. This is because they are liable to be suspected of favouritism and nepotism.
Yours etc…
