Shoot IAS Officers

A Minister in Andhra Pradesh has a solution for lethargy in the service - IAS officers who have no commitment to their work should be shot dead. TG Venkatesh, Industrialist turned politician was expressing his frustration at the IAS officers stalling developmental work by returning files with one query or another. He wanted such bureaucrats to be shot dead on the road. IAS officers are not amused - they are up against the minister for inciting mob justice and want the Chief Minister to sack the Minister who is in no mood to relent.
