Rajasthan : Former Chief Secretary appointed Advisor to CM

0

Within days of being replaced as Chief Secretary of Rajasthan, senior IAS DB Gupta (IAS:1983:RJ), has been appointed adviser to Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot. After being removed from state chief secretary post, Gupta was put on wait.

The state government appointed senior bureaucrat Rajeeva Swarup (IAS:1985:RJ) as the new chief secretary replacing Gupta last week.

The choice of Rajeeva Swarup came as a surprise to many, as the two front runners for the post included 1985- batch IAS officer Usha Sharma and 1987-batch IAS officer, Veenu Gupta.

Swarup has also superseded IAS officer Mukesh Sharma, who retires this month.

Gupta is just four months away from his retirement.
