The Madhya Pradesh government appointed retired IAS officer Ajatshatru Shrivastava as consultant at the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Good Governance and Policy Analysis (AIGGPA) in Bhopal. Though formally attached to the institute, he is expected to look after the political affairs of Chief Minister Mohan Yadav.
Ajatshatru Shrivastava, who retired in 2018, earlier served as Officer on Special Duty to former chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and is considered close to the present chief minister as well. As contractual OSD appointments are subject to an upper age limit, the government assigned him the consultant role. A former collector of Ujjain and commissioner of Bhopal, he assumes responsibilities earlier handled by former IAS officer Mahesh Choudhary, now appointed administrative member of the Private Universities Regulatory Commission.
