As many as 45 IAS officers and 25 IPS officers were redeployed in Bihar last week. This made 21 of the state's 38 districts getting new district magistrates. Several districts also got new SPs.
The move took everyone by surprise because the government had transferred 21 IPS officers and seven Bihar Police Service officers just 19 days ago. Sources said even leaders of BJP, the ally of Nitish Kumar's JD(U), were not aware of the transfers.
This large-scale redeployment of officers has made people and politicians speculate about an early state election.
