gyanesh Kumar is one thing, but Medha is what actually worries me—she has over two decades of administrative power ahead of her.

It is well known who qualifies to be holding critical positions in this government.

@vijaydivecha4326 4 days ago

He is an agent. God knows who he works for. Shameless behaviour by someone who is supposed to be holding a constitutional position -- supposed to be. He is an agent who works for someone else instead of for us. Put him in jail.

And it's more worrisome that govt is bringing lateral entry to IAS to bring more people 'well suited' in their ways and who will happily oblige to anything..

Lee See, if i recollect, was a Singaporean project manager who made such an excellent road but was later found dead( suicided) inthe midst of some money related issues- i think they didnt pay him back or something
