Transfer officer or I'll kill myself, says dalit MLA

BHOPAL: Within days of IAS officer Ramesh Thete threatening to commit
suicide if he wasn't given a posting of his choice, a dalit BJP MLA
declared that he would kill himself if a panchayat officer, who has
been at the same post for over 25 years, was not transferred.
BJP veteran Jugal Kishore Bagdi said at a public meeting in Satna that
he is a Dalit and will "commit suicide'' if a panchayat officer KG
Tripathi, who has been the coordination officer of Sohawal panchayat
since 1985, wasn't turfed out. Bagdi alleged that Tripathi was
transferred nine years ago but he refused to give charge to his
successor and continues to hold the post till date.
Last week, IAS officer Ramesh Thete threatened suicide if he was not
given his promotions and salary dues. Thete, a 1993 batch IAS, was
suspended after he was allegedly caught accepting a bribe of Rs 1 lakh
in 2002 as principal of a technical institute. After being let off by
the courts recently, Thete was appointed director of the Narmada
Valley Development Authority.
The officer wants promotion at par with his batchmates and salary dues
from 2002 to 2010. "I am a Dalit and hence I have been targeted. When
upper caste officers face corruption charges, the state goes slow on
investigations," Thete said.
