The reappointment of bureaucrat Radheshyam Mopalwar on the identical publish has stunned the paperwork. He retired on February 28 as the vice-chairman and managing director of the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) and a contemporary order used to be issued on his reappointment on a contractual basis the same day.
Mopalwar, a 1995-batch IAS officer, used to be locked in some controversies for greater than a decade. During the monsoon consultation of the state legislature, former leader minister Prithviraj Chavan, chief of the opposition Radhakrishna Vikhe-Patil, NCP chief Ajit Pawar and BJP legislator Anil Gote had levelled critical fees of corruption in opposition to him.
Chavan and Gote had submitted an audio tape to meeting Speaker Haribhau Bagde. The tape reportedly contained a dialog between Mopalwar and someone else on fee of bribes.
Since it used to be a serious rate, leader minisiter Devendra Fadnavis despatched him on go away and concurrently appointed a three-member committee headed by means of former leader secretary Johny Joseph to probe into the fees of graft in opposition to Mopalwar. Joseph finished the entire probe in file time and granted a clean chit to Mopalwar. It used to be expected that during view of significant fees of corruption, Fadnavis would shift him to a trifling department and his colleagues believed that it used to be the tip of Mopalwar’s occupation. But Mopalwar has proved them fallacious as Fadnavis has reinstated him on the identical publish.
On February 28, when Mopalwar retired, it used to be again felt that a new bureaucrat would take over the reins, however a lot to everybody’s wonder and shock, the public works department issued a contemporary order to supply for his reappointment as MSRDC head.
“I used to be now not shocked in any respect. On the day Fadnavis ordered a probe, it used to be widely recognized in Mantralaya that he (Mopalwar) could be given a clean chit and he could be again in the MSRDC,” Chavan said.
In the corridors of energy, it's believed that while he is on the receiving lead to view of corruption fees, Mopalwar is among a few bureaucrats, who has the capability to ship in a time-bound length. For Fadnavis, the largest process is to complete the Rs 42,000 crore Nagpur-Mumbai Expressway as early as conceivable and “handiest Mopalwar can do it”.
Ever since Fadnavis took over the reins in October 2014, apparently that he's on my own to take on the opposition. Serious fees of corruption and irregularities were made in opposition to several cupboard members, together with tribal construction minister Vishnu Sawara, food and civil supplies minister Girish Bapat, tourism minister Jaikumar Rawal, woman and child welfare minister Pankaja Munde and housing minister Prakash Mehta, however Fadnavis defended his colleagues and gave them a clean chit. Even right through the three-day ‘Magnetic Maharashtra’ conference, it used to be “oneman show”. While the arrangements for the development started six months in the past, Fadnavis singlehandedly drafted an action plan, invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the inauguration and prepared a plan for signing of the MoUs. Most of the cupboard members and senior bureaucrats related to the development weren't visible. “Even the dais plan for the entire occasions used to be drafted by means of the executive minister himself,” said a senior bureaucrat.
A week in the past when Fadnavis used to be locked in a row over a video on river conservation, no minister came to his rescue. It used to be an event arranged by means of an NGO and the federal government used to be now not even remotely related to it. Ultimately, as most ministers distanced themselves from the development, Fadnavis stepped in to defend himself, however then it used to be too late, consequently, large injury used to be done to the image of CM and his govt.
