Kerala Government Reshuffles Senior IAS Officers Amid CPI(M) Corruption Allegations
The Congress-led UDF government in Kerala conducted a major reshuffle of senior IAS officers, reassigning key positions in departments such as Home, Finance, Health, Power, and Industries. The opposition CPI(M) alleged the reshuffle aims to facilitate corruption by placing favored bureaucrats in sectors prone to such activities. Transfers include K R Jyothilal moving to Home and Vigilance, Minhaj Alam to Finance, and Prasanth N appointed as Kerala State Electricity Board chairman. Reported differences between Health Secretary Sharmila Mary Joseph and the Health Minister also influenced transfers.
