These bureaucrats want to try their luck in politics after retirement.
According to Dynamite News sources, a senior IAS officer from UP has decided to contest Lok Sabha election from a seat in Azamgarh division.
Similarly, an IPS of ADG rank who retired last year wants to reach the Lok Sabha from a seat in western UP. He is trying hard to get the ticket from the ruling party.
However, only time will tell as to who gets success. But these days a lot of speculations about such officers are taking rounds in the UP bureaucratic circles.
