"Accountability From Within...": Shiv Sena MP Milind Deora Amid Row Over Trainee IAS Officer Puja Khedkar | Read

 Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha MP Milind Deora has called for "accountability from within" the system for the country's bureaucracy, including the Indian Administrative Service that is the backbone of domestic governance. Mr Deora's comments come amid outrage over the Puja Khedkar row.

A 2003-batch IAS officer, Ms Khedkar made headlines this week after it emerged she may have lied about suffering visual and mental disabilities to secure a posting despite a low qualifying score, and then wheedled officials into giving her perks not permitted for on-probation officers.
