There is much flutter about Ranjit Bannerjee, the CEO of Gujarat State Disaster Management Authority(GSDMA). Whether he has resigned or not is being speculated.
Here is why Mr Bannerjee wants to call it quits at this point of time.
Just like Mr J S Rana, Bannerjee also has an inquiry pending against him. He is being alleged of having doled out unsecured loans to Nikhil Gandhi (yes the same man who aspired to be Dhirubhai Ambani of Gujarat but is lost these days). Mr Bannerjee doled out this special favour to Nikhil Gandhi and his companies, several of them while he was at GSFC.
Thereafter, Mr Bannerjee went to Delhi for deputation and later on went to the IMF. Now he is back to Gujarat, his cadre. Mr Bannerjee was keen to go back to Delhi but as per a rule, his five year outside cadre tenure was up and he needed a no objection certificate from the Gujarat Government . Also, he was not empanelled as an ACS to Government of India, because of the pending inquiry.
His idea was to go back to the IMF only for another tenure .
So why is he in Gujarat now and why this resignation talk?
According to a service rule, if an officer applies for voluntary retirement, the government is bound to relieve the officer after 90 days if the officer is either 50 years old or has completed 30 years of service. Mr Bannerjee completed 30 years of service in mid July. If he resigns now, the government will have to relieve him in 90 days and the inquiry can go on eternally….
So it made sense for him to resign but if he is relieved then what about Mr J S Rana whom the State government has yet not relieved?
