Two high-profile Delhi government IAS officers of the 1984 batch are returning the capital from Goa and Andaman, where they had currently been posted.
The union home affairs (MHA) had ordered their transfer a few days back.
Rajni Kant Verma and Jalaj Srivastava were known to be in the good books of the Sheila Dikshit’s government. It is expected that Verma will be given a key post in the Delhi government.
Jalaj Srivastava was the tax commissioner here before he got transferred to Andaman. He was embroiled in a controversy in the alleged tax evasion case against Tivoli Garden and Resort.
On 22 June, 2010 Srivastava had written a note to the finance minister, finance secretary, chief secretary and the chief minister’s office, alleging that a Delhi minister had called him during a tax survey at the Tivoli Garden Resort Hotel at Chhattarpur in south Delhi.
The minister had allegedly asked him to recall an enforcement team from an active survey that was taking place at the Tivoli resort.
This episode had created an embarrassment for the Dikshit government. Sources in the chief minister’s office said that Jalaj Srivatava will not be given a public delivery department, because of the Assembly polls scheduled in November 2013.
R K Verma currently holds the postition of PWD, environment, forest and power in Goa.
The home ministry sources confirmed that MHA has issued an order transferring him from Goa to Delhi.
