Naresh Kumar, the former Delhi Chief Secretary, was in the eye of the storm when he waged a war on corruption, exposing a corrupt regime at a grand scale. Kumar's efforts put him in a politically locked situation where he faced multiple flanks, from professional to personal. All these political and media flanks questioned his sustenance, but despite all this, we continued his campaign that ultimately laid the foundation for the ouster of a corrupt regime. Top sources in power corridors say, "Kumar was a bureaucrat who knew how to take calculated risks for long-term goals, which makes him an efficient administrator with a long view."
As political currents settle in Delhi, Kumar's return to the power corridor will not only give an administrative boost to the incoming dispensation but also help repair the politico-administrative setup marred by politics and administrative inefficiencies. Top sources add that "Administrative and Service delivery was not able to fully execute or utilize due to political-administrative cross-firings."
The decision to retain Kumar shouldn't look politically but also at administrative and long-term goals that the dispensation is willing to achieve, a top source said. The current developing administrative setup of Delhi requires a strong beacon that can provide strong oversight and ensure a smooth administrative run for incoming dispensation in the Delhi Government.
