Nara Chandrababu Naidu, the senior IAS officer who recently served as the Chief Electoral Officer in Andhra Pradesh, has been appointed as the principal secretary of excise in the newly-formed Chandrababu Naidu government. This move marks a significant shift in his career, showcasing a promotion in his position within the government.
Naidu’s new role will involve overseeing the excise department with an additional charge of the commerce and industries department. This gives him control over important aspects like liquor revenue and the attraction of business and industrial establishments to the state. Following his appointment, another senior officer, Vivek Yadav, has been selected to take on the role of CEO.
During the previous government, there were allegations that Naidu indirectly supported the TDP and its allies by imposing restrictions on the YSR Congress party. These restrictions encompassed various areas such as election duties, distribution of pensions, and transfer of officers. Naidu’s actions during the elections were believed to have had a significant impact on the final outcome.
Despite facing challenges in the previous government, Naidu’s new appointment signifies a strategic move by Chandrababu Naidu to strengthen his administration and further his political influence. This development showcases the dynamic nature of Indian politics and the strategic decisions made by key political figures to navigate the political landscape.
Overall, Naidu’s remarkable political comeback and his new role in the government highlight the intricate dynamics of politics, the importance of strategic alliances, and the resilience of seasoned political leaders in the face of challenges and setbacks.
