ITANAGAR, Sep 19: In what could be termed as a huge embarrassment for the Pema Khandu government, the lone regional political party, People's Party of Arunachal (PPA) has accused the Khandu government of illegal appointments in his very office thus undermining the institution like Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) and Arunachal Pradesh Staff Selection Board (APSSB).
"One Ms Nisher Koyu has been appointed as Hospitality Manager and another Ricki Chetri has been appointed as Assistant Hospitality Manager in the Chief Minister's Office (CMO), " alleged Kahfa Bengia , President PPA while adding that most likely both are appointed in the rank of UDC without following any recruitment norms.
At least Governor BD Mishra camouflaged his three illegal appointments by engaging the service of Vice Chancellor, Rajiv Gandhi University Saket Kushwaha but the Chief Minister's Office didn't even do that, Bengia added.
"What is the locus-standi of Kushwaha in state's recruitment process when APPSC and APSSB is functional,?" questioned Bengia.
Both Raj Bhavan and CMO have become the epicentre of illegal appointments. Brig Mishra and Khandu are out to destroy the institutions like APPSC and APSSB. They can't be above the law of the land, he added.
Bengia emphasised that there can't be four set of rules for recruitment - one for Raj Bhavan, another for CMO, third one for Tawang and fourth for the rest of the state. "Arunachal is part of a vibrant democracy. Nobody should act like royalty and try to be "first-amongst- equals, " Bengia said.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Pema Khandu today declined to respond to the allegation leveled by the People’s Party of Arunachal President, Kahfa Bengia on illegal appointments in the Chief Minister’s Office.
