The Center seems to have refused to send senior IPS officer Stephen Ravindra to the AP on deputation. Prior to taking over the role of Andhra CM, Jagan requested KCR to send Ravindra to the AP on deputation. He agreed. In the last week of May, KCR said okay .. The State sent the file for approval. It was hoped to get permission from the Home Department within 15 days. But still today, Stephen Ravindra’s Deputation, the pending.
Stephen Ravindra formerly served as Chief Security Officer at CM YS Rajasekhara Reddy. He has close ties with the YS family. In the past he worked at Rayalaseema for a long time. When the YSRCP won a major victory in the AP election. Jagan intends to appoint him as AP Intelligence Chief.
Telangana CM KCR is ready to send Range IG Stephen to AP. He went on leave. The news that Stephen Ravindra was acting as the Intelligence Chief of the AP was unveiled when Jagan took over as CM. But as Stephen Ravindra kneels to the deputation, he returns to Telangana.
In fact, AP CM pics are very popular in the center. The appointment of several Cabinet ministers including Prime Minister Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah is readily available. The BJP elders’ attitude is that they are ready to give immediately after asking what the special status is. But it is surprising that the Center did not care to send an officer on deputation.
