My dear Prime Minister,
As you know, the government has the power to nominate persons of its choice, not always the most qualified or the most deserving, as members or chairman of Commissions, Councils, Boards and Committees of the Government and as Directors of Public Sector undertakings. Sometimes, these nominations are made in accordance with the law for specified periods.  In many case, therefore, such persons continue to remain in position even after the Government has changed because their terms are not over. 

Political integrity and morality both demand that such persons should voluntarily submit their resignation to the incoming government, when a new government assumes office.  The incoming government always has the option of not accepting the resignation and asking the persons concerned to continue to complete their term.  On the other hand, it may accept the resignation in some cases and nominate substitutes. 

I recall that after the UPA government took power in 2004 it found it very difficult to change the appointees of the NDA Government. One such case was the Chairman of the National Minorities Finance and Development Corporation; the other was the Maulana Azad Foundation. A third was the Central Wakf Council.  The result was that these bodies were not fully activated for some time. 

I suggest that in consultation with the Leader of the Opposition, the Government should evolve a convention for voluntary resignation by the nominees of the outgoing government and their substitution at the option of the incoming government.  This would be a healthy practice for efficient functioning of government bodies.
With kind regards
