Odisha Deputy Chief Minister and Agriculture Minister KV Singh Deo told horticulture officials that the government is not a rubber stamp and demanded proper reports instead of bouquets. He questioned why officers attended training programmes without submitting details or outcomes.
Singh Deo gave officials seven days to comply, warning that non-compliance would not be tolerated. Times Now reports he said the government is not afraid of bureaucratic pressure and asserted that elected representatives run the government, not officers.
KV Singh Deo's blunt talk is refreshing in a bureaucracy where flattery often replaces performance. But one stern speech does not fix systemic inertia. The real test is whether any official actually faces action after the seven-day deadline. If not, this will be remembered as another headline, not a reform.
