Former Kerala Governor Recommends Removal of PSC Chairman Over Alleged Irregularities
Former Kerala Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar recommended the removal of Kerala Public Service Commission chairman M R Baiju, citing alleged irregularities in recruitment processes. Arlekar sent a letter to President Droupadi Murmu about a week before his transfer to Tamil Nadu, also referring the matter to the Supreme Court. The move follows complaints from groups like Yuva Morcha and ABVP and ongoing Crime Branch investigations into PSC examination irregularities, including for the State Planning Board chief post.
