He was removed from the post within just 7 months of his tenure, which has raised many questions. In his place, Ashutosh Niranjan, who returned from central deputation, has been given the responsibility of Transport Commissioner.
This change is not being considered as just a normal administrative process, rather the discussion about the reasons behind it has intensified at many levels. According to highly placed sources, the biggest reason behind the removal of Kinjal Singh is said to be lack of departmental coordination. According to sources, there were continuous problems in coordination with departmental officials. Coordination with the Transport Minister could not be strengthened. There were differences of opinion in many important decisions. All these reasons together weakened his position, which resulted in his transfer. This entire incident is also being linked to the upcoming transfer policy. If sources are to be believed, the government did not want any kind of controversy to arise before the implementation of the new policy.
According to discussions, if Kinjal Singh had continued in the post, tension regarding transfers could have increased. A situation of conflict could arise between the departmental minister and the administration. The government averted a possible controversy by making timely changes. Although there has been no official confirmation of these claims, they are the most discussed in administrative circles. The appointment of Ashutosh Niranjan, who returned from central deputation, to this important post is being considered a strategic step. This transfer indicates that the government wants better coordination in the department. There are preparations to strictly implement the transfer policy, priority is being given to administrative stability. This transfer is being considered special because the tenure was very short (only 7 months). The timing of the decision (before the transfer policy) is important. The transfer of Kinjal Singh is being seen as an important signal in the administrative structure of Uttar Pradesh. When the new transfer policy will be implemented in the coming days, the far-reaching effects of this decision can be clearly seen. At present, this matter remains the biggest topic of discussion in the bureaucracy of the state.
