TIL Desk/National/Bengaluru/ The Karnataka government faced embarrassment on Monday as the continuing public spat between two bureaucrats reached the doorsteps of the chief secretary with both women officials levelling charges against each other, while the administration warned of disciplinary action against them. Home Minister Araga Jnanendra took exception to the conduct of D Roopa and Rohini Sindhuri, and warned of action against them.
The quarrel between Karnataka State Handicrafts Development Corporation Managing Director Roopa, an Indian Police Service officer, and Indian Administrative Service officer Sindhuri, the Muzrai Department Commissioner, reached the office of the Chief Secretary Vandita Sharma, with both submitting petitions seeking action against each other. Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai is said to have directed the chief secretary to warn both officials regarding their conduct and social media posts.
Earlier too, both women had indulged in a public spat, and had been involved in controversies separately too in their official capacities. The issue this time began with Roopa taking to social media alleging several ‘wrongdoings’ of Sindhuri. She also made personal remarks, accusing Sindhuri of misconduct and released personal pictures of her alleging that it was shared by her with a few male officers. Terming the allegations as baseless, Sindhuri alleged Roopa is making such comments against her out of personal hatred, and was behaving as if she had lost her mental balance.
