Bathinda: The lure of political strength continues to attract bureaucrats to take a stack of elections.
Like the election of previous assembly in Punjab, especially in 2012 and 2017, this time three IAS retirees were in Medan.
Despite two retirees, one IAS officer took a voluntary pension to oppose the poll in Punjab.
The 1985-batch IAS officer of Tamil Nadu Cadre Jagmohan Singh Raju, who will retire in 2023 and is the addition of the Head of Secretary / Head of Commissioner of the Tamil Nadu resident in Delhi.
As soon as the voluntary retirement request was received on Thursday, BJP lowered it from East Amritsar against Punjab Congress President Navjot Singh Sidhu and the former Minister of Bikram was sad.
Besides from him, BJP has lowered the Sucha Ram Ladhar from the Gill assembly segment.
Ladhar retired in 2021 and has formed a Kirti Kisan party, but has combined it to BJP on December 14, 2021.
IAS 2005 Kuldeep Singh Vaid officers have taken voluntary pensions before the 2017 assembly election and successfully contested on Gill tickets from the Gill Assembly segment in the Ludhiana district.
Congress returned to offer it from the same assembly segment, causing a political battle between two retired IAS officers.
Apart from them, BJP has lowered retired IPS Iqbal Singh Lalpura officers from the Roopnagar assembly segment.
Lalpura has retired in 2012 and joined BJP.
He was at the Chairman of the National Minority National Commission.
The party has also reduced two former Babus and a police officer, while the Congress has lowered a former bureaucrat.
A political analyst Bakhta Singh said bureaucrats who jumped into the polls as soon as retirement needed time to adjust to the new role and failed to create relationships with the community.
If they get time after work, they might be comfortable meeting people.
But sometimes babe remains close to people even during their services, he said.
1 IPS, 3 former officers IAS tried their election fortune
