New Delhi May 22 (IANS) Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday criticised the government s proposal of allocating cadres and services to candidates selected under civil service examinations only after completion of foundation course saying it wanted to appoint officers of "RSS s choice".
Gandhi posted on Twitter a letter by the Department of Personnel which he said reveals the government s plan to manipulate the merit list using subjective criteria to appoint officers it favoured.
"Rise up students your future is at risk! RSS wants what s rightfully yours. The letter below reveals the PM s plan to appoint officers of RSS s choice into the Central Services by manipulating the merit list using subjective criteria instead of exam rankings " tweeted Gandhi with hashtag #ByeByeUPSC.
The Department of Personnel and Training has written letters to all cadre-controlling ministries seeking their comments on the Prime Minister s Office proposal asking if probationers should be allocated the services and cadre after reviewing their performance in the three-month foundation course besides the score obtained in the Civil Services Examination.
