Dilip Cherian | Fiscal advisers may get to have a larger say in ministry spends

Deccan Chronicle  

Looking at the future, the Modi Sarkar wants to show that it is capable of fresh thinking. It may well lead to financial advisers having a larger say in the expenditure roadmap of ministries with possibly more authority to enable better internal governance. Mr Singh, who is a member of the Union Cabinet, has not been nominated for the Rajya Sabha by party supremo and Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, as was widely expected. Mr Singh made a swift and seamless transition from babudom to politics and rose to become JD president, and was widely considered by babus and party leaders as Nitish’s right-hand man. That, babu watchers say, may have led to the CBI raiding 2011-batch IAS officer K. Rajesh in connection with alleged financial irregularities related to land scams and arms licences.
