Mangalore, Mar 1: Ashok Kheny, managing director of Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprise Ltd, criticized the Indian administration service (IAS) cadre officers for failing to fulfill the aspirations of the people and build the country stronger and better.

“If I was the Prime Minister, I would have fully engaged myself in building my country. The present set of IAS officers is good for nothing,” he commented.
