All India Trinamool Congress State unit convenor Aryakumar Jnanendra on Monday urged Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik to appoint a fulltime administrator as the Energy Secretary. In a letter to Patnaik Jnanendra said, “The current Energy Secretary who also holds the post of Chief Administrator of Shree Jagannath Temple Administration projects himself as an honest officer always. But he is not like that. He had tried to blacklist charted accountants who found irregularities in the internal audit report of the Omfed in 1999 while he was the CMD of the federation.”
“The statement of the Energy Secretary now-a-days is regrettable. Hence, let him to discharge his duties as the SJTA Chief Administrator and appoint an efficient officer as the Energy Secretary in a bid to ensure smooth power supply to the people during the scorching heat,” added Jnanendra.
