Barala’s Law Officer Appointment: BJP’s U-Turn Amidst Backlash
Vikas Barala, son of BJP MP Subhash Barala, saw his appointment as a law officer in Haryana abruptly revoked. The controversial appointment, made on July 18, 2025, lasted a mere ten days.
The decision followed widespread condemnation and alleged internal pressure within the BJP. Barala remains an accused in a high-profile 2017 stalking case.
The swift reversal highlights the intense scrutiny faced by the ruling party. The episode underscores the delicate balancing act between political patronage and public accountability.
This incident raises serious questions about the selection process for such crucial positions and the influence of political connections. The impact on public trust in the Haryana government and the BJP remains to be seen. The case is likely to fuel further debate on the need for transparency and merit-based appointments in public service.
