Just after the Yogi government came into power few officers were requisitioned from the Centre back to their parent cadre of UP. It took some time but finally many of them including Avanish Awasthi a 1987 batch IAS officer who is working as Principal Secretary Information and CEO UPEIDA, Chief Secretary Rajive Kumar , Principal Secretary to CM S P Goyal, Sanjay Bhoosreddy, Prashant Trivedi and few more came to strengthen the state bureaucracy
If sources are to be believed, Chief Secretary Rajive Kumar has spoken to few officers in Delhi and tried to make them comfortable to get repatriated. Few days back Sanjeev Mittal, 1987 batch IAS officer was prematurely reptriated to parent cadre Uttar Pradesh and Alok Tandon, 1986 batch have also returned to Lucknow. According to sources Kalpana Awasthi, 1990 batch IAS officer is about to be reptriated soon and few more are in line to return.
Now the question is why so many of IAS officers are being convinced to be reptriated. Is there any dearth of officers in Uttar Pradesh or lack of confidence on those officers who were posted at prime positions on previous government.
It seems Yogi government is in the process of making its own Team of officers who can carry forward the agenda and deliver, it goes without saying that despite being wary of several officers who were in the prominent positions in previous Akhilesh Yadav regime, could not get removed many of them.
