Will Kamal Pandey be the new principal secretary?
April 19, 2014
Kamal Pandey, former cabinet secretary in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, who was unceremoniously shunted out by Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh may be a likely candidate for the post of principal secretary.
Senior BJP leaders like LK Advani want Kamal Pandey to be decorated with this top slot. N Gopalaswami, former Chief Election Commissioner, Ashok Chawla, former finance secretary - both from Gujarat Cadre are considered close to Modi, are likely candidates too.
Former agriculture secretary PK Misra and RN Das, former food secretary, are other likely options.
