The new UP government may be aided and advised by the PMO in critical areas. The PMO has officials like Nripendra Mishra, PK Sinha and others who know the state like the back of their hands.
It is expected that the new administration may delegate more responsibilities to civil servants to run the state efficiently. Already the state DGP and the CS have held detailed discussions to map out the future course of administration.
When Prime Minister Narendra Modi was Gujarat CM, he oversaw most administrative operations with the help of a select team. And this course of action may be followed by the new UP administration There is a ray of hope among honest, efficient bureaucrats and senior middle rung policemen that they will be given important postings and a free hand to deliver.
Their involvement would be critical since substantial central funds are likely to be allocated to UP under various heads and for infrastructure projects. A beginning has already been made with the allocation of Rs 11,421 crore under AMRUT for improving basic urban infrastructure by 2019-20. Its implementation is likely to be monitored closely in UP.
The problem is with SP and BSP controlling the state by rotation, most officials are identified with one or the other. "Months before the assembly elections, officials close to Mayawati had formed a group, expecting 'achhe din' as soon as she becomes CM. They are a disappointed lot," a police officer said.
Since BJP has been out of power for 14 years, most bureaucrats and police personnel have not been in touch with its senior party leaders.
Some officials who had opted for central government deputation during SP rule are reportedly in touch with BJP for returning to the parent cadre. At the director-general level, IPS officers Arun Kumar, OP Singh and Rajnikant Misra may return.
"In virtually every police station in Uttar Pradesh, a Yadav had been posted as station officer in SP rule. This is very demoralizing for others," a deputy superintendent level officer said. Though some newly-elected BJP MLAs have been boasting that officials may be posted with their consent, the over-riding criteria are likely to be an ability to perform.
