Lucknow, March 29 (IANS) Favourite officials of former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati were Thursday shunted out to posts that do not carry clout.

Similarly, Navneet Sehgal has been shifted as Member (Judicial) of the Revenue Board, Allahabad.
The other secretary level officials put on the waiting list since the new government headed by Akhilesh Yadav was sworn in have also got what are known as ‘bad’ postings.
Netram, another favoured official of Mayawati, is now principal secretary, Rashtriya Ekikaran Vibhag.
Chandrabhanu, who remained the Lucknow district magistrate for a long time, has been sent to the Citizen Security and Political Pension department as secretary.
