A few “All India Services” officers approached the CAT and requested permission to remain in Telangana.
K. Chandrashekar Rao, the chief minister of Telangana, selected Kumar to be the chief secretary because he had served the government for a significant amount of time before he was eligible for retirement. This was done in order to maintain the government’s efficiency for a minimum of three years.
