The Uttarakhand Congress has blamed the BJP government for engaging in nepotism while selecting candidates for prestigious Tilu Rauteli awards.
The spokesperson of Uttarakhand Congress, Garima Dasauni said that the entire selection process of the Tilu Rauteli awards has come under cloud. She said that the awardees include not only the daughter of a cabinet minister of the state but an office bearer of Mahila Morcha of BJP.
Dasauni also criticised the BJP government for the recent order pertaining to work distribution among the personal staff of chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami. She said that in the order some of the staff members of CM have been assigned the task which pertains to coordination with the BJP workers and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) members. Dasauni said that under the Uttar Pradesh (UP) work distribution regulations, 1975 which are applicable in Uttarakhand also the powers of CM and governor are described. She said that as per the rules, the personal staff of CM is appointed by the secretariat administration (SAD) and their salaries and perks are paid from the state treasury. Dasauni claimed that the rules clearly say that the members of the staff cannot be asked to do work for a political party.
