The unconventional style of governance as introduced by new chief minister of Uttar Pradesh Adityanath Yogi in has already started to make the top brass of state officials jittery.
His impromptu inspection of the UP secretariat and police station in the last two days is not only making media headlines, but establishing his credentials a leader, who is out to change the status quo. The officials are still bracing up to keep pace with Yogi and measure up to his high expectations of delivery.
His stern directives to officials regarding law and order and his own habitual long working hours are proof enough that Yogi is not carved out for a beaten track in government.
Expect him to be different and follow the management concept of ‘disruptive innovation’, one who has just started scripting a ‘new normal’ in governance. Officials, better brace for more such ‘disruptions’, welcome ones though, in days to come!
It would be in the interest of the bureaucracy and administration to realign their work ethics to that of Yogi, who himself is an unlikely CM, being a reverred seer and adhering to strict disciplinarian regimen. His never say die attitude over subjects of public safety and security would only come handy to him in his rule.
The change is now palpable. In Lucknow, police has become more visible and visibly active. Patrols have since increased and cops’ alacrity in checking anti-social elements, traffic violators and eve teasers is getting kudos from general public, especially women.
The same police, which used to be charge with dancing to the tunes of political masters to retain plum postings, is working to reclaim public spaces from gangsters through raids and roundups.
