Speculation Over Chief Minister's New PS; M.V. Jayarajan or R. Mohan Under Consideration
The suspense over who will be the next Private Secretary to the Chief Minister is expected to end next week. The names of M.V. Jayarajan and R. Mohan are currently under serious consideration. However, as only one year remains in the current term, there is also a strong opinion among some senior leaders questioning whether a new appointment is necessary at all.
The Political Advisory Council has reportedly suggested that P. Sasi, who is currently handling the role, be given additional responsibilities and allowed to continue. Their reasoning is based on his credibility both administratively and politically. On the other hand, some argue that a new appointment is essential to ensure greater administrative efficiency.
Discussions regarding the new appointment are actively progressing within both the Secretariat and party headquarters. As Jayarajan and Mohan have differing administrative experiences, the party's internal priorities will play a decisive role in the final decision.
The Chief Minister’s Office is likely to choose someone free of political controversies and proven administrative capability. For that reason, the high-level deliberations scheduled for next week will be particularly significant.
