"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.
