PM’s Man as Chief Secretary in BJP-Ruled States?

Many believe that BJP-ruled states have Centre’s choice as Chief Secretary. Many past appointments have made this indication clear, be it Rajesh Aggarwal in Maharashtra, Srinivas in Rajasthan, and more -a new pattern is being keenly observed. Now the next test is said to be in Odisha. Manoj Ahuja, who received a one-year extension, is said to retire in December 2025. Will this time also be the Centre’s choice in Odisha? Only time can tell.
