Welcome change of guard
text of letter sent to the press:
The new DGP, Mr K R Srinivasan, has started off well by announcing the discontinuance of the practice of displaying the photograph of the incumbent DGP in police stations, started by his predecessor.
The predecessor's deeds and statements - the photo display order; applying afresh for a BDA site suppressing the fact that he had already been allotted one earlier; when that became known, trying to evoke sympathy for having had to part with it due to extraneous circumstances for a mere Rs 70 lakhs, even as the market value was much higher (question arises as to whether the balance was collected in cash); and accusing the media of trying to tarnish his image for reporting all this - qualifies him adequately to enter politics now, after having sufficiently eroded the dignity of the high office of the state DGP.
A welcome change of guard indeed.
