Oh Wow!.. :hatsoff: Sampath... I hope the new Govt. comes in and investigates this EC and also reverses all the recent decisions of the current Govt. BTW what is the pressing need to change the Army Chief? Are they trying to cover up any other Defence related major scams?
There should definitely be an investigation into ALL Govt. decision taken after the announcement of poll dates. The current one is about to retire in around 3 months but AFAIK it is not an urgency w.r.t. to the Army. Yeh Cong ka khud ka hi kuch chakkar hai...

an old article on how a relatively unknown candidate was picked as Election commissioner http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/v-s-sampath-to-be-new-election-commissioner/445428/

Neither Razdan nor Joseph nor Rao. A dark horse from down south has made it to the Election Commission as the next member when Navin Chawla takes over as Chief Election Commissioner from N Gopalswami on April 20. Sources said that central Power Secretary V S Sampath from Andhra Pradesh cadre has been appointed as the next election commissioner. "The Prime Minister approved his name last night," he said. The appointment comes barely two days after UPA chairperson and AICC president Sonia Gandhi's political tour to Karimnagar in Andhra fuelling speculation that the rank outsider's name was suggested by none other than chief minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy. Sampath, a 1973 batch IAS officer, was never in the reckoning with names such as Maharashtra Chief Secretary Johny Joseph, Karnataka chief secretary Sudhakar Rao, former Power Secretary Anil Razdan and Law Secretary TK Vishwanathan doing the rounds. Sampath has service tenure until next January when reaches the superannuation age of 60. With EC tenure until 65 years, he will now take over as CEC after election commissioner SY Quraishi retires in June 2012 and would be the CEC when next general polls are held in due course in 2014. He was Principal Finance Secretary in Andhra government before coming to the Centre in December 2004. His first assignment was with Department of Land Resources in the Ministry of Rural Development. He then moved on as Director General of National Institute of Rural Development, came back into mainstream as Secretary, Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals. After Razdan superannuated last December 31, he was appointed Power Secretary.

^thanks.. thought AK Antony was one of the few in Cong with integrity & respect from the opposition. Now if this is true, then the morale of the Armed forces was at its lowest ebb during UPA-2

^thanks.. thought AK Antony was one of the few in Cong with integrity & respect from the opposition. Now if this is true' date=' then the morale of the Armed forces was at its lowest ebb during UPA-2[/quote'] I read Admiral DK Joshi's interview transcript. He thrashed not just UPA govt.(using the term system etc. not directly naming) but also news traders. Literally tore off Shekhar Gupta(didn't name him directly), who was running a fake coup story to malign Gen. VK Singh. A day later the interview text was edited and the bits about Gupta were removed.
