The BJP’s victory in the Rajasthan Assembly has set the stage for a new government to be formed in the state. With this change, there is anticipation of a reshuffle in key positions, including the Chief Secretary and other top administrative roles. Chief Secretary Usha Sharma (IAS:1985:RJ) is set to retire on the 31st of December, leaving the post of Chief Secretary vacant.

As discussions about the next Chief Secretary of Rajasthan unfold, four senior IAS officers are emerging as contenders for the position. The names in consideration are Rajeshwar Singh (IAS:1989:RJ), Sanjay Malhotra (IAS:1990:RJ), Sudhanshu Pant (IAS:1991:RJ), and Abhay Kumar (IAS:1992:RJ). Among these candidates, Rajeshwar Singh is particularly noted as a strong contender for the role.

The appointment of the new Chief Secretary is a critical decision that will shape the administrative landscape in Rajasthan under the BJP-led government. The outcome will likely have implications for the state’s governance and policy direction in the coming term.

Following the suspension of Director General of Police (DGP) Anjani Kumar (IPS:1990:TG), the Telangana State government on Sunday (03.12.2023) issued orders appointing Ravi Gupta (IPS:1990:TG) as the new Director-General of Police for the State.

Mr. Gupta assumed the role of Director-General of Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) in December 2022 and concurrently held the additional charge of Director General (Vigilance and Enforcement).

The decision to appoint Ravi Gupta transpired shortly after the Election Commission of India (ECI) instructed the Chief Secretary of Telangana to take disciplinary action against DGP Anjani Kumar. The suspension of Mr. Kumar was based on the grounds of his meeting with Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president A. Revanth Reddy at his residence during the vote counting on Sunday afternoon.

The Election Commission of India on Sunday (02.12.2023) took action by suspending Telangana Director General of Police (DGP) Anjani Kumar (IPS:1990:TG). This decision was made due to his violation of the Model Code of Conduct, which occurred when Kumar engaged with Congress leader Revanth Reddy during the ongoing state assembly election.

Anjani Kumar along with Sanjay Jain, the state police nodal Officer, had a meeting with Anumula Revanth Reddy, a contestant in the Telangana Assembly polls, prior to the announcement of the election results. A video circulated by a news agency showed the senior police official presenting Reddy with a flower bouquet.

In response to this breach of conduct, the Election Commission has formally communicated with Telangana Chief Secretary A Santhi Kumari, recommending the immediate suspension of the Telangana DGP.

Rahul Navin (IRS-IT:1993), presently the Acting Director of the Enforcement Directorate, is on the verge of stepping into the position of the agency’s head in a formalized capacity. This progression stems from the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet’s resolution to empanel him as an Additional Secretary. The Central government’s issuance of this directive has generated discussions among numerous senior civil servants from diverse services, with an air of both anticipation and inevitability surrounding the decision.

Navin assumed the position of acting director on September 15, succeeding the retiring director, SK Mishra. His journey within the Enforcement Directorate began in 2020 when he joined as a Special Director on deputation.

It is noteworthy that the position of the Director in the Enforcement Directorate corresponds to the level of Additional Secretary and is often temporarily elevated to the rank and remuneration of the Secretary, Government of India. Navin’s predecessor, Sanjay Kumar Mishra (Retd. IRS-IT: 1984), similarly took charge as the Chief of the ED in the capacity of Additional Secretary before being empanelled and promoted to the rank and pay of Secretary.

The Enforcement Directorate is entrusted with the responsibility of investigating financial crimes under three key legislations – the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), and the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act (FEOA).
