Senior IAS officer Rathan Kelkar has been appointed as the Chief Minister’s Secretary in Kerala while serving as the Chief Electoral Officer of the state, triggering a political face-off between the BJP and the opposition. The BJP has questioned the Congress party over the appointment and compared it to the opposition’s earlier reaction to former West Bengal CEO Manoj Agarwal’s appointment as Chief Secretary in the state. BJP leader Amit Malviya also posted on X, asking whether the Congress party was adopting double standards on the issue.#timesnow #englishnews #bjp #congress #kerala #politics #ias #election #controversy #amitmalviya
