Rahul Gandhi sees RSS bid to control civil servants
New Delhi: Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Monday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of wanting to appoint officers of the RSS' choice into the central services by manipulating the merit list and asked the students to “rise” against the BJP-led NDA. “Rise up students, your future is at risk! RSS wants what’s rightfully yours.” he tweeted.
“The letter below reveals the PM’s plan to appoint officers of RSS’s choice into the central services by manipulating the merit list using subjective criteria, instead of exam rankings,” Mr. Gandhi said on Twitter. The PMO had sought the opinion of the cadre-controlling ministries on a proposal to allocate the cadre and the service to probationers only after they complete their three-month foundation course. As of now the services are allotted before its completion.
