IAS officer transferred over post on Deendayal Upadhyaya
The BJP government in Chhattisgarh on Saturday transferred an IAS officer following his comments about late Jan Sangh leader Deendayal Upadhyaya. Shiv Anant Tayal, a 2012 batch IAS officer, had posted a critical comment about Upadhyaya's contribution on Facebook the previous day, after which, BJP leaders demanded action against him. He had later expressed regret over the post.
