The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- An opinion piece by Shishir Gupta argues that while the Modi government has delivered major security gains since 2014 — defeating the Maoists, reducing terror violence in Jammu and Kashmir, and stabilising the North-East — bureaucratic inefficiency remains unaddressed.
- The author contends that recent public protests, including those over paper leaks at Jantar Mantar, stem from non-delivery by an inefficient administration that faces little accountability, while politicians bear the consequences.
- Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation over paper leaks is described as settling political accountability, but the author questions why thousands of bureaucrats and law enforcement personnel face none.
- The piece calls on the government to overhaul the bureaucracy's recruitment, training and accountability systems to achieve the Viksit Bharat 2047 goal.
What to watch next
- Whether the government launches internal probes into administrative failures around the paper leak protests
- Any moves to reform bureaucratic recruitment, training and accountability mechanisms
- Whether further officials are held accountable for the examination system failures
