The recent large scale transfers(25 high officials) in Andhra Pradesh are election related transfers to enable the 'right' kind of IAS officers are in the right locations and to ensure election funds. To force the transfer sums like Rs 11 Crore were given to High Command by those who benefit. It does not mean the officer coughed up but his backers- merchants and politicians came up with the money. In some cases the transfers were with Madam's approval. So its fundraising with a new twist.
