That appointment of law officers by any state government in India is politically motivated, is a well known fact. These are political appointments (government’s prerogative, if you like), which are made and undone with change of government. Then, why is Punjab Chief Minister Capt. Amarinder Singh being so defensive about the appointment of 121 law offers announced on Friday night. In the fourth month of his tenure at the head of a Congress government, is he betraying a sense of insecurity, or is he being overzealous about projecting an honest face of his government, is anybody’s guess.
In an official press statement on Saturday, Amarinder Singh tried to trash observations made in the media of favouritism in the appointments, and asserted that “every single appointment of the new law officers in the state government was based on merit after taking into account the professional qualifications and expertise of the candidates.”
