Secretariat staff allege bias in new promotion rules, stage protest
Mantralaya Seva Adhikari Karamchari Sangh president Sudhir Nayak said a protest would also be held during lunchtime at main gate number 1 on Thursday, while the later set of protests would be declared after that.
Meanwhile, a high-level meeting was convened to deliberate on the provisions of the Madhya Pradesh Civil Services Promotion Rules, 2025, on Thursday.
The meet would be attended by all additional chief secretaries, principal secretaries, secretaries, and heads of departments.
The Chief Secretary would also remain present on the occasion. All concerned officials were asked to ensure their presence. The meeting was among the top officials of depts and not between the govt and employees union.
The MP cabinet on June 17 approved the Madhya Pradesh Public Service Promotion Rules, 2025. Provisions include 20% reservation for Scheduled Tribes (ST) and 16% for Scheduled Castes (SC). SC and ST public servants will also have the opportunity for promotion based on merit.

It has been provided that promotion committees may meet in the current year itself to prepare selection lists for the next year's vacancies, i.e., provisions for advance DPCs (Departmental Promotion Committees) have been included. Due weightage is given to seniority, and among senior officials, those obtaining the minimum qualifying marks will be eligible for promotion. For Class I officers, a merit-cum-seniority principle will apply, the govt stated.
The problem for the general category employees was that SC and ST public servants will have the opportunity for promotion based on merit, besides 20% reservation for Scheduled Tribes (ST) and 16% for Scheduled Castes (SC).

NYC mayor elections: Anthony Weiner makes wild prediction on Zohran Mamdani — here's what he said
Anthony Weiner (Image credit: X/@TheView) and Zohran Mamdani (AP image) Ex-congressman Anthony Weiner on Sunday predicted that top Democratic leaders will eventually have no choice but to endorse socialist Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor elections. Speaking in a radio program, Weiner said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries will ultimately back Mamdani as the party's nominee. 'Some people can stay on the sidelines, and I think you're going to see a lot of people do that. but the leaders of the party, which Chuck and Hakeem are, are caught between the devil and the deep blue sea,' he said. 'They've got the Democratic Party, who's now chosen their nominee.' Weiner said top Democrats such as Schumer and Jeffries have delayed endorsing Mamdani to avoid hurting moderate party members in the 2026 midterm elections. ' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo The reason Chuck and Hakeem have been so slow to endorse Zohran is because they don't want to harm their moderate candidates all around the country, which are the ones they need to take back the House and Senate,' he said. 'That's a political question for them.' Republicans are using Zohran Mamdani's candidacy to attack Democrats, hoping to paint the entire party as too far left. At the same tine, Weiner has also predicted that Mamdani is likely to win the mayoral race as the Democratic nominee, as reported by New York Post. 'Unfortunately, or fortunately … I think we're going to have Zohran Mamdani as the mayor in New York City,' he said. Two other Democrats, incumbent Mayor Eric Adams and former Governor Andrew Cuomo, are also running as independents in the upcoming November elections. However, Weiner had dismissed their chances of defeating Mamdani. Weiner whose career collapsed amid sex scandals, recently attempted a political comeback by running for a City Council seat in Manhattan's District 2. He was soundly defeated by Assemblyman Harvey Epstein. Weiner's political downfall began in 2011 when he resigned from Congress after admitting to sending explicit photos to several women. In 2017, he was convicted of sexting with a minor after prosecutors said he pursued an online relationship with a 15-year-old girl. He served prison time for the offense.
