Indian Cooperative proved itself correct once again as the man predicted to take over the responsibility of Chief Executive at the apex cooperative body in the country (NCUI) is no one else but N Satyanarayan.
Sources said Satyanarayan was formally informed about this by the NCUI President in presence of apex body’s Vice- Chairman Bijendra Singh. He is likely to take over on the next working day which falls now on Monday as there is a spate of holidays.
Despite best of efforts by Dr Dinesh as well as by some of his sympathizers the Chief Executive of apex cooperative body of the country will have to go.
“He could have stayed on but for a pile of complaints lying against him in the Agriculture and Cooperation Ministry”, said a member of the Governing Council on condition of anonymity.
” If he has been charge-sheeted how can you justify his continuation?” he asked. It could have given the Ministry a handle to beat the NCUI with, he added.
The next senior man after him was given charge, the GC member said without naming N Satyanarayan. The latter is the natural choice as he is the senior most after Dr Dinesh. But it would be a temporary arrangement, he cautioned.
Satyanarayan would continue till the NCUI completes the formality of selecting a new Chief Executive. It will have to put up advertisement for a new CE, a selection committee would have to be formed, screening is to be done before the final interview and the selection of the ablest of the candidates made.
A debate nevertheless goes on among the NCUI staff about if the NCUI President has someone in his mind who would be placed as CE in due course.
But what if Satyanarayan proves himself as skillful as Anita Manchanda did in the past. Manchanda took charge from Bhagwati Prasad in a similar situation but by proving herself useful before the Governing Council, she had won a full-term. Satyanarayan is competent no doubt but is poor in communication skills, his detractors point out. His honesty of purpose makes up for the deficit in his oratory skills, argue his sympathizers.
