PCI Chairman Markandey Katju turns politician




The appointment of unworthy people to important public posts is governed by predilections of the political dispensations of the day enjoying power at the central and provincial levels. The chairpersons of constitutional & statutory bodies have been appointed as spoils-system largesse in recent years. A considerable number of them are widely known to be lacking in integrity. Only a couple of years back the Supreme Court ordered for the removal of a tainted CVC. Thus institutions are defiled consciously for selfish and nefarious motives with corruption in the core.

In Bihar during so called mandalised politics all chairpersons of the Bihar Public Service Commission were jailed or suspended. I have myself been a victim of corruption when in the 39th BPSC exam I had secured more than 65% marks in all subjects. But I was not called for interview because I had been awarded diabolically only 10% (21 out of 121 ) marks in G.S Ist paper. This was incredulous machination by the then Chairman. When this came in the news papers one of the members of the BPSC wrote to the Chairman to put the GS Ist answer script before the commission. When it was put up then two members said that the examinee had been very consistent and called for black-listing of the examiner but nothing happened. The baffling point was that even if minus the paper I would have qualified. The member had also exhorted the chairman to award average marks in accordance with the “theory of probability”. If that had happened I would have topped the exam. Judiciary did not want to venture into the so-called autonomy of the so-called constitutional commission. 

I remained a loser victimized by the system. When the present state government came into power I wrote to the then D.G of the Vigilance Bureau who now is a member of the State Human Rights Commission. But again no action.

However we  all know how the system works.
