CM Jaganmohan Reddy is following his typical informal style even when dealing with the senior IAS officers. He is addressing the Babus as Annas during the review meetings. He is also asking the bureaucrats not to work beyond 5.30 pm.
The IAS officers are impressed with the way Jaganmohan Reddy is taking the decisions fast. His review meetings are being completed within an hour. No official meetings are being conducted after lunch.
A senior IAS officer was spellbound at the humble way in which Jagan just called him Anna to ask for some information. The last few days, the CM’s review meetings are subject of lot of discussion in the employees.
No other CM in the history of Andhra Pradesh has given such friendly and affectionate treatment to the bureaucrats. The officials and the employees are very happy over the visible change in the style of Governance.
The officials are joyous over how Jaganmohan Reddy is making clear his goals and objectives without any beating around the bush. At all the review meetings, Jagan is making one thing very clear that he will not tolerate corruption in Governance. He has told the officials openly that if he asks for favoritism in contracts, they can tell the media openly.
The straightforward talks by Jagan have gone down well with the bureaucrats who foresee a happy future for the employees. They are remembering the days when they were made to sit through long hours at review meetings and stay late into the nights.
Jagan is also drawing praise from the Babus for his quick decisions on issues like increasing Rs 250 for elders pensions which now go up to Rs 2250 per month.
