The Babus Rule, The Netas Sign

By BPN News Desk July 29, 2025

When Subhash Chandra Garg, the then Finance Secretary of India, quietly decided to resign from the Indian Administrative Service, it wasn’t because of a scandal or political fallout. It was because a file moved in the Ministry of Finance—not through honest dialogue, but through quiet coercion. Garg had opposed a policy proposal to give resolution […]
