Will an officer from Delhi be sent again to Odisha as Chief Secretary?

According to one theory, an IAS officer from the GoI, similar to Manoj Ahuja, may return to serve as the Chief Secretary of Odisha. People are circulating the names of Gudey Srinivas from the 1990 batch, Satya Brata Sahu from the 1991 batch, and Santosh Kumar Sarangi from the 1994 batch as IAS officers. Continuity in Bihar's Top Bureaucracy with Pratyaya Amrit and Vinay Kumar As the NDA returns to power in Bihar, bureaucratic stability is anticipated, with Chief Secretary Pratyaya Amrit and DGP Vinay Kumar expected to continue leading the administrative and law enforcement machinery, respectively. Amrit, a trusted confidante of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, has earned a reputation for effective governance, having overseen infrastructure projects and crisis management with notable success. His appointment as Chief Secretary in September 2025 signifies a commitment to experienced leadership. Similarly, DGP Vinay Kumar, with his steady command over the police force, is poised to maintain order during this political transition. Their continued presence promises administrative continuity, which could enable the new government to swiftly implement its policies without disruption. This continuity underlines the strategic importance attributed to stable bureaucratic leadership amidst Bihar's evolving political dynamics.
