Power Centers Clash Over Delhi's Next Chief Secretary?

In the world of Delhi's power politics, a quiet but intense battle is brewing. As Chief Secretary Dharmendra's tenure winds down, three names have emerged from the bureaucratic wilderness who are currently under the currents of power games.

First: MCD Commissioner, Ashwani Kumar, has the capital's top brass singing his praises. He's the safe bet, the insider's choice—someone who won't rock the boat but will keep it sailing smoothly.

Second: Bipul Pathak—the Delhi Government's golden boy. The Delhi Government sees him as someone who doesn't just implement policies but breathes life into them.

Third: Shaleen Kabra—backed by the influential Jammu & Kashmir lobby, top sources suggest, armed with something his competitors lack: two precious years of service remaining, an ideal time for the Chief Secretary post. In the bureaucratic world, timing isn't everything—it's the only thing.

Power Games and Conundrum

In this power game the centre has laid new rules of engagement. Top sources say Gone are the days when being a "hardtaskmaster" guaranteed success. Today's Chief Secretary needs to be a sync master who can orchestrate multiple symphonies simultaneously balancing political aspirations, administrative efficiency, and public expectations.

But here's the twist no one saw coming. The very lobbying efforts designed to influence the selection are now creating a bureaucratic traffic jam. Competitive lobbying clashing like tectonic plates threatens to delay the appointment. Top sources add that in such scenario additional charge arrangement looms.

A Confident Centre?
