Kuldip Narayan, IAS Vs. Anant Singh, MLA

The case of Kuldip Narayan taking on powerful real estate mafia of Patna is a curious one. His stand against Anant Singh is also a part of this battle. He fought hard to give justice to the people of Patna and to uphold the rule of law. Unfortunately, he was humiliated and lost. It is even more unfortunate to see that residents of Patna didn’t come forward to support him.

Kuldip Narayan is undoubtedly one of the most honest IAS officers of India. He has started a sort of public movement while being the DM of Gopalganj, Munger and Chhapra. When he was posted as the CEO and Commissioner of Patna Municipal Corporation, the battle for transparency and rule of law came to the capital city of Bihar. The real estate mafia is ruling here. The market price of flat and land has been kept at astronomical level. There is no accountability. A flat buyer is left to the mercy of the nature God once the possession is transferred. These mafias belong to all parties and castes and hence no one has the courage to take on them.



Kuldip Narayan showed the guts. He fought against 471 builders. Later, he focused attention to the Patna Central Mall, which was being built by breaking all rules of the land. This Mall is owned by Anant Singh, the Mokama MLA and dreaded mafia.

Anant Singh threatened him as well as lured him. But, Kuldip Narayan didn’t give his assent. He ordered that the upper two floors of the Mall will have to be demolished. Anant Singh tried his best without any success. Later, he used his political approach and Kuldip Narayan was suspended on some flimsy ground.

IAS Association came forward to support Kuldip. The High Court of Patna took tough stand.

Suspension was revoked, but the order couldn’t be implemented.

In the end, it was Anant Singh who won the battle.

Patna Central Mall is still there laughing out loudly on every citizen who understands rules and regulations.


Kuldip Narayan was humiliated. His family was under constant threat. Not a single resident of Patna came forward to support him. His case was just discussed on the road side tea stalls and dining hall. People were supporting him – but, that support remained tacit.
