High effort of vested interest to crush the democratic voice against suspicious DGM recruitment in BSNL :

Warning letter is served to Sh R P Shahu, SDE in the name of individual while raising the voice as General Secretary against DGM recruitment in BSNL and breach of trust at the level of Director (HR).

President AIGETOA writes letter to CMD BSNL on such unethical practice to crush the voice against wrong doing in BSNL and seek appointment for meeting with all the CHQ and Circle Secretaries of this association. Click here for letter

Director (HR) in the meeting with forum (AIGETOA+AIBSNLEA) in the month of July-2015 and agenda meeting held with this association on 03-09-2015 has clearly accepted wrongdoing which disfavor internal executives in DGM recruitment and assured to study in depth the issue to come out with justice but her assurance was breached just in 6 days and DGM interview was conducted on 10-09-2015.

Sh R P Shahu along with GS AIBSNLEA and some other representatives met Director (HR) on 10-09-2015 itself and argued strongly over breach of trust on DGM issue and demanded to stop the ongoing interview otherwise association will be forced to protest strongly. Director (HR) was completely answerless on that day about the breach of trust on her part and hence under frustration she has gone up to extent of saying that she has not assured anything and she is not at all willing to promote internal candidates at the level of DGM and whatever promotion internal candidates are getting is only under compulsion because external candidates are not showing interest. She has also said that making recruitment at any level and from among any candidates is within power of BSNL board and associations have no right to question their decision. The decision on DGM recruitment is taken by earlier board hence she is not at all answerable for any wrong doing. There were various such remarks used by Director (HR) in the meetings which was not at all expectable at that level and hence strongly countered by GS AIGETOA and GS AIBSNLEA both. Undoubtly, situation was not so amicable hence comfortable for Director (HR) but not at all used any such words from Sh R P Shahu which can be treated as unparliamentary. Sensing the angriness of Director (HR) GS AIGETOA Sh R P Shahu just after meeting has conveyed regret for the situation through SMS with request to consider it as resentment of the internal executives who are victim of DGM recruitment. Director (HR) had also realized the facts and immediately replied with text  “it’s Ok, give me some time to study DGM recruitment issue so that I can know the facts under which circumstance such decision is taken which deprive the internal executives, I assure that decision on DGM recruitment will be taken which is fair and just”.

On 14-09-2015, GS AIGETOA along with Circle representatives of AIGETOA MP once again met Director (HR) and CMD at Bhopal where DGM issue and argument happen on 10-09-2015 was discussed wherein CMD stated that he is not aware about DGM interview. Director (HR) accepted that she was hurt on that day hence conveyed the detail of discussion and argument happen on 10-09-2015 to CMD BSNL in haste but afterwards she realized the facts and now matter is closed. She once again committed that she will study the DGM case in detail and held meeting with forum on this particular issue on 16-09-2015 which was further postponed to 23-09-2015.

When Director (HR) herself had closed this chapter on 14-09-2015 what made GM (SR) to write letter on 15-09-2015 with false allegations and for taking disciplinary action against Sh R P Shahu?  Knowing about the letter issued with false allegation of using unparliamentary language, President Sh Ravishil Verma, AGS Sh Amit Roy along with GS AIBSNLEA Sh Prahlad Rai met Director (HR) on 23-09-2015 and raised this issue. Director (HR) once again accepted that letter might have been issued by the office in confusion but same will be withdrawn and also stated that after study of DGM recruitment it is beyond doubt that some major lapses are committed on the part of BSNL which disfavor the internal executives. She assured that since the matter is under knowledge and examination of CMD BSNL and CMD is already instructed GM (Pers) to submit white paper on DGM recruitment in view of objection raised by this association, we can expect the justice.

Surprisingly, after more than one month i.e. on 21-10-2015 GS AIGETOA Sh R P Shahu has been served warning letter in his individual name which shows that vested interest behind DGM recruitment are in full effort to crush the voice against their wrongdoing. May be Director (HR) is not knowing this development and vested interests are playing behind the curtain or she herself is working under pressure of these vested interest or she has become part of these vested interest so that they can proceed with DGM recruitment by crushing democratic and genuine voice.

In the agenda meetings, record of discussion is not issued and whatever assured verbally is not followed and denied hence Shocked with warning letter in individual name and that too with completely false allegation of using unparliamentary language, GS AIGETOA Sh R P Shahu has decided to make distance from meeting with authorities to discuss the issues as they want puppets who must sing a song on their tune, not leaders who raise the voice against the wrongdoing in BSNL.  Sh R P Shahu while acting as GS AIGETOA had also been targeted individually at various levels for his bold and honest voice against the wrongdoing of BSNL management but could not received enough support from the direct recruits for whom he is fighting putting his career on risk hence also decided to refrain from any association activities which was ultimate motto of vested interests in BSNL.

Since the formation of BSNL in Oct-2000, all the director have been selected from within BSNL because they have got about 40% weightage of internal experience and 20% weightage of domain experience. It is hard to believe that these directors are not known about the importance of internal & domain experience over external experience for well being of the company but they have not only preferred outsiders and non-domain experience for the post of DGM in BSNL but completely debar the internal executives despite they possess all the qualification and experience at higher side and also must have secured higher marks in the DGM exam. It is not beyond the understanding of even a layman that this DGM recruitment is not for serving the interest of the company but to serve the vested interest in BSNL.

It is needless to state that various benefits which are even not known to members have been studied and conveyed to each and every direct recruit and also highlighted to the top management with lot of personal sacrifice. This is not only the responsibility of Sh R P Shahu to raise the voice against such corrupt practice in BSNL ruining our career but it is responsibility of all of us. Let us not be selfish. Let us not go in vain all the effort and sacrifice of Sh R P Shahu while fighting for the rights of direct recruits. We all have to stand and we will stand like a rock and give befitting reply to the vested interest in BSNL who are trying to crush the voice. Very shortly all the CHQ leaders and Circle secretaries will meet to CMD to convey the unethical practice of vested interest in BSNL and demand resolution of our long pending HR issues. Future course of action on association front will be decided after meeting with CMD. Members must be ready for long organizational action if the need arise.
