An old adage says that temple pujari’s blessings are
required before God could bless.
Though it is laudable that several attempts and some more in offing were made to convince the higher ups in the Finance Ministry about the plight of the LIC pensioners which is expected to yield some result it is the Secretary ( Finance ) who rules the roost.
It could be
expected that the Finance Ministry, to follow the usual procedure, would ask the
Secretary ( Finance ) to put up the file with his note or rather his
recommendations. If the note is positive in our favor, the sailing will be
smooth. But should there be any adverse noting it becomes turbulent.
So the Pujari, in this context, the Secretary (Finance ) is the one who has to be convinced. Could there be any possibility of this happening!
It is reliably understood that a Note was prepared by the Secretary (Finance) and sent to the former Finance Minister for his approval and the FM left the ministry without taking action on the Note. During his tenure he praised LIC's growth in many fabulous words such as " LIC is a brand name.,Navaratna among the PSUs" but put up a cold shoulder when it came to the Pensioner's lawful and legitimate demands endorsed by several courts and knowing well that justice is on the pensioners side.
