Concerns have arisen as Congress MP Sasikanth Senthil questions the appointment of an astrologer as Officer on Special Duty (OSD) under the TVK government. The issue came to light through a letter that former IAS officer Senthil reposted on his 'X' handle.
The letter, dated May 12, allegedly installs Rickey Radhan Pandit Vettrivel in the OSD position, designated to work directly with the Chief Minister. This unconventional appointment has triggered widespread discussions online, though no official validation has been provided by authorities just yet.
Senthil, who represents the Tiruvalluvar constituency, openly questioned the necessity of such a post for an astrologer, drawing significant public interest and further scrutiny of this political move.
