MMRDA paying salary of two peons working at the CMO, reveals RTI

The Maharashtra Chief Minister's Office (CMO) has two employees working but instead of the CMO, they are being paid salaries by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), reveals a reply received under the Right to Information (RTI) Act.

According to information received by activist Anil Galgali from MMRDA, Vishwas Dadasaheb Bansode and Jagannath Tungvel Acharya are employed on contract as peons and have been deployed at the CM's office. "The salaries of the two peons are being paid by MMRDA. Bansode has been appointed from 1 November 2014 onward and Acharya has been appointed from 1 July 2015 onwards," the reply says.

"Pertinent to note here is that, one of the appointed peons Jagannath Acharya had retired from the CMO as Jamadar, but continues to function there and surprisingly there is no approval of the CM taken for the appointment," Galgali says.

As per the information received under the RTI, both the peons, Acharya and Bansode have not even worked for a single day at the MMRDA and have been working in the CMO from day one.

Galgali says, Acharya retired from the CMO as Jamadar and on the next day submitted his application to MMRDA for the job. On the same day, i.e. on 1 July 2015 the Deputy Metropolitan Commissioner (DMC) and the Additional Metropolitan Commissioner Sanjay Sethi approved it and issued internal order for appointment and the very same day onwards Acharya resumed work at the CMO.

Bansode, on the other hand, has been working in the CMO since 1 November 2014, but approval for his appointment was taken on 19 November 2014. Kiran Hadkar, under secretary in the CMO, wrote to the DMC seeking Bansode's services on loan basis. "The MMRDA paid Bansode Rs12,000 per month from 1 November 2014 to 30 December 2015 and thereafter Rs13,200. Acharya is being paid Rs17,500 per month since his appointment," the reply received under the RTI reveals.

When Galgali sought copy of the CM's approval order, he was handed over copy of the request letter sent by Hadkar. "...actuality it is binding to take the Government's approval for appointment of retired person's on contract basis, but the rules seems to have been ignored in both the cases," he said.

"In a case of Dr Jagannath Dhone versus Govt of Maharashtra, the state government has filed an affidavit stating that it would not appoint retired personal on contract basis and in case of extreme emergency, would seek due approval. The affidavit has itself been violated by the CMs office," Galgali says.

Expressing surprise, Galgali wondered as to whether the CM has been kept in the dark about such activities by some officers in the CMO. "This is a matter for investigation due to the reason and purpose of importance of a retire Jamadar Acharya's actual requirement in the CMO," the RTI activist added.

It is not the company who is fraud. The IR's representing wrong information about the company. The company is not telling you that you get paid just by investing. You get a product that is worth of your money and just a opportunity to do business within. If its fraud it couldn't last this long in the country. The IR's are representing in wrongly, not the company. And it's not a "get rich quick scheme"

Company is just a name for the network which cannot talk. ...The director who decides the rules that how to sell products. .....and IRs are trained so ....how to take out hard earned money from our pocket....The company itself is fraud....talking about product and money. ...if you feel products are worth. ..give my money and take your product. ....and yes this is fraud but still there because of the sick people like u....if you get an opurtunity to do business with your family . ..you gonna sell each of your family members. ...u guys are sick about money. ......

I got a lengthy pitch from two IR today, in chandigarh. I immediately could recognize that the whole system is false, as the IR didn't tell me much about the actual products that are to be sold, not more about how he would help me be financially free.
