A high-level appointment at state-run Airports Authority of India (AAI)
has raised eyebrows over the last-minute inclusion of a candidate and
his selection by the Public Enterprises Selection Board (PESB).
On
January 8, two days before the interview for selection of the
most-deserving candidate, the PESB partially modified its earlier
communication to the authorities concerned and added the name of 1987
batch Indian Railways Accounts Service (IRAS) officer K. Vinayak Rao in
the list of shortlisted candidates.
On January 10, the Board
recommended the name of Rao for the key post. There were 11 candidates
including Rao with six senior executives from the AAI.
"In
partial modification to PESB's communication of even number dated
December 27, 2019 on the subject mentioned above, this is to state that
Mr K Vinayak Rao, Finance Member, DDA (Indian Railway Accounts Service)
has been included in the list of shortlisted candidates against the pool
of Central Government category," the PESB letter dated January 8 said.
Rao
is currently Member, Finance at DDA which comes under the Ministry of
Housing and Urban Affairs. The AAI comes under the administrative
control of Civil Aviation Ministry.
Hardeep Singh Puri is the Minister for both Housing and Civil Aviation.
Many
AAI senior executives have been questioning the process of selection in
private discussion but declined to talk about it openly fearing
disciplinary action.
"How can someone be entertained after the
cut-off date for submitting application? In case the name had to be
extended, why the date for submission of application was not extended
for all the candidates?" asked a senior executive.
"The laid-down terms have been bypassed in this case," he added.
The
post of Member, Finance, at AAI had fallen vacant after resignation by
S. Suresh in May, 2019. Following this, an advertisement was issued to
fill the vacancy with November 28, 2019 as the last date for submitting
the application.
