The Kerala Cabinet decision to seek an explanation Tom Jose IAS who in a letter on the proposed Kochi Metro Rail project sought clarification from union Urban Development secretary Sudhir Krishna on E. Sreedharan's role in the project, is not in the right direction. What is wrong in writing a letter to one Government Secretary by another? After all who is E Sreedharan for Kerala ministers. Doesn’t the project show up without Sreedharan? Is there no person in the world other than Sreedharan to materialise the Kochi Metro?
Tom Jose is an able bureaucrat and a man of vision. As he never dance with
the juggle of thoughtless politicians many LDF firebrands, and minister Aryadan
Muhammed keep despise towards him. It is better for Aryadan to give up charge
of this project. Aryadan’s incapability is the sole reason for all the mess in
the Kochi Metro project.
Of course, the Cabinet could decide what action should be taken against Tom
Jose but this would augment the reason for able IAS officers to abandon the
state. If these officers wish to seek berths in central ministry there is no
difference between LDF and UDF regarding proceed to top civil servants.
