Right after Gen Bipin Rawat, junior superseded two seniors two become Army Chief, opposition Congress party cried foul attacking PM Modi and the NDA government for tarnishing the Army's integrity and not respecting the seniority. 


But in the process Congress forgot that in 1983 its government set precedent when Lt General SK Sinha was superseded  by his junior General AK Vaidya. During that time he resigned but this time  Lt General Praveen Bakshi decided to continue saying  "It will be work as usual," greeting the new Army Chief.

However what followed next is the shocker. In the half hour video address broadcast from the Eastern Army Command headquarters in Fort William, Kolkata, to nearly 3,00,000 men under the Commander-in-Chief, Eastern Army Commander Lt General Praveen Bakshi made shocking claims saying "Malicious campaign, deep rooted conspiracy, men in the shadows"

He continued saying "I don't think, we in the Indian army who have been trained to fight our enemies can allow such people to survive in our own organization,"  and added "They need to be exposed... and that is why I shall continue though I shall be on leave, for the forseeable future."


He says"I am falling into the trap of justifying my actions, that is not the intent of my talk..." and revealed  'Why I am not resigning' mentioning  a series of anonymous letters which were written against him alleging corruption in these purchases and also his proximity to a former army vice chief who he invited to address the eastern command.


Opposition parties got shot in their arms and now it has to be seen how PM Modi and Defence Minister Manohar Parikkar sort out the problem as eastern command is second only to the northern command in troop numbers and responsibilities.

The command borders four countries-China, Myanmar, Bhutan and Bangladesh, nine Indian states, including four insurgency-ridden ones.
