Taking cue from Nitish, Mayawati shifts focus to governance
Lucknow, Nov 28 (IANS) Obviously taking a cue from the success story
scripted by Nitish Kumar in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister
Mayawati has visibly shifted her focus to the hard issue of
governance, which was so far left to her select coterie of
bureaucrats.
This was clearly reflected in a review of the state's law and order
situation by her Saturday. Unlike in the past, when such meetings were
mere rituals where she made only a token appearance, while leaving the
actual task to Cabinet Secretary Shashank Shekhar Singh and Chief
Secretary Atul Kumar Gupta, she chose to sit through the day-long
meeting.
More importantly, she issued a warning to all divisional
commissioners, district magistrates, range deputy inspector generals
of police and district superintendents of police to pull up their
socks or face the music.
Issuing an ultimatum to the officials, she said: "Enough is enough. I
am giving you two months to improve the law and order in your
respective areas. I propose to start my surprise inspections with
effect from Feb 1. Those who fail to deliver should remain prepared to
face punitive action."
Mayawati sought to make it loud and clear that she would not spare
anyone for their lapses. "Those who perform would be duly rewarded,
while those who do not would have to face the music," she declared.
Pointing out that law and order was on the top of her priorities, she
told officials to observe "zero tolerance" to crime and criminals.
"Stern action against criminals alone can restore the sense of
security among the people," she said.
Laying much stress on the need to ensure communal harmony, she urged
the officials to maintain "strict vigil against incitement of communal
trouble". She recommended deterrent action against mischief mongers
behind any type of communal trouble in the state.
She also asked district magistrates as well as divisional
commissioners to start holding weekly review meetings at their
respective levels too.
