The Telangana government is likely to appoint former Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar (IAS:1989:AP) as an advisor or to give him other important positions. Sources say that the Chief Minister is likely to utilise his experience for Telangana’s development by appointing him to some key position soon.
His recent participation in Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s important meetings is a clear indication of the trust he enjoys with the CM.
Kumar’s application for voluntary retirement was accepted by the Andhra Pradesh government in February. It may be recalled that Somesh Kumar was shifted to the AP cadre as per the directions of the Telangana High Court while he was serving as the CS of Telangana.
