CHQ Update: SUSPICIOUS DGM RECRUITMENT IN BSNL- HIGH LEVEL POLITICS TO CRUSH THE LEGITIMATE AND DEMOCRATIC VOICE

It is surprising fact for BSNL executives who are pouring their sweat & blood for revival of this company that BSNL is running by politics rather managerial skill. It is beyond dispute that DGM recruitment from among outside ignoring more qualified, experienced and talented internal executives are not at all in the interest of the company but for something else. This association has been raising the issue of DGM recruitment since inception before all the Directors and CMD but all of them were either mum or justifying the DGM recruitment from among outside. After assuming the charge of Director (HR) first time Mrs Sujata Ray has accepted the fact that there is something wrong by not allowing internal candidates and assured this association to enquire the issue in detail.

In a meeting held with Director (HR) on 10-09-2015 our GS Sh R P Shahu has taken strong objection on conduction of DGM interview which was against her assurance and clear breach of trust. It is a fact that there was confrontation between Director (HR) and GS AIGETOA on conduction of DGM interview but nothing was happen which is treated as unparliamentary words. Director (HR) might have appraised the issue before CMD BSNL but it is unbelievable that she had made complain with false allegation of using unparliamentary words. She had also conveyed it time and again in our subsequent meetings that she does not have any issue with respect to the discussion on DGM recruitment on 10-09-2015. She had recently in meeting with GS AIBSNLEA also shown her resentment on serving the warning letter to Sh R P Shahu and accepted that somebody is playing politics using her name.

Director (HR) as assured had started finding the facts on DGM recruitment and also instructed GM (Pers) to share all the detail to her but out of sudden she has been sidelined from this issue and now issue is directly handed over to CMD BSNL. The vested interest in BSNL well knows that once secret of DGM recruitment will be open before Director (HR) they can find themselves behind the bars hence this issue is diverted to CMD BSNL. This massage was conveyed by Director (HR) herself in the meeting held on 23-09-2015 that now CMD is looking into the issues raised by the associations in DGM recruitment and he will convey the decision within second week of Oct-2015. This association was eagerly waiting for the justice on DGM issue but in the third week of Oct-2015 GS AIGETOA Sh R P Shahu in his individual name has been issued warning letter with false allegation of using unparliamentary words without giving him opportunity of being heard on such serious allegations. We are yet waiting the decision of CMD on DGM recruitment.

Going through all the above episode, it is very much clear that some vested interest in BSNL is trying to play the politics to crush the voice in the name of Director (HR) so that they can proceed with suspicious DGM recruitment.
