Vijayendra questions silence of IAS Officers’ Association in earlier cases involving CM

BJP State unit president B.Y. Vijayendra has wondered why the IAS Officers’ Association, which has now petitioned Chief Minister Siddaramaiah against BJP MLC N. Ravikumar for allegedly derogatory comments against the Chief Secretary, did not show similar interest when Chief Minister Siddaramaiah himself had insulted an IAS officer earlier.

Speaking to mediapersons here, he wondered why the association remained silent when the Chief Minister insulted officers.

“Where was the IAS Officers’ Association when the Chief Minister behaved in a manner that insulted other civil servants?” he asked.

“Wasn’t it the same Chief Minister Siddaramaiah who, during a public meeting in Belagavi, attempted to slap a police officer?” he asked.
