This V., a Tamil who is mixing Odisha politics, is a retired IAS officer who has become so important that Prime Minister Modi himself mentioned it. Who is Karthikeyan Pandyan? Let's see in detail that behind the success... How Karthikeyan Pandyan emerged as Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik's confidante is still a matter of interest.
V was born in 1974 in a town called Koothappanpatti near Melur in Madurai district in Tamil Nadu. Karthikeyan Pandian. Pandian, who studied at the Neyveli Sports Hostel run by the Tamil Nadu Sports Development Authority, completed his B.Sc. finished Later, he did his Masters from the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, Delhi.
In 2000, Pandian cleared the Indian Civil Service and became an IAS in Odisha. He started his career as an officer. In the same year, Naveen Patnaik also took office as the Chief Minister of Odisha and still continues.
At Dharamgarh in Kalahandi district, Pandian was the first deputy collector to regulate paddy procurement. In 2005, he took over as the district collector of Mayurbunch, a tribal-dominated district. It was during his tenure as District Collector of Ganjam from 2007 to 2011 that he got the attention of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik. Naveen Patnaik's assembly constituency Hinchili is located in Ganjam district. It is here that Naveen Patnaik's MP Aska Lok Sabha constituency is located.
It was during Pandian's tenure as Collector that Ganjam district was awarded twice at the national level for its excellent implementation of the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme. V. from Kanj. The journey to the top of Karthikeyan Pandyan begins. Appreciating Pandyan's talent, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik invited him to the Chief Minister's office in 2011.
How Karthikeyan Pandyan emerged as Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik's confidante is still a matter of interest. That incident happened in 2012. Pandiyan was very junior compared to others at that time, despite the fact that he was working in the Chief Minister's office.
Piari Mohan Mohapatra is a former IAS officer. Naveen Patnaik's father Biju Patnaik was his principal secretary when he was chief minister. Biju Patnaik brought Mohapatra into politics. It was only after his father Biju's death in 1997 that Naveen Patnaik, who mostly lived outside Odisha and completed all his schooling and college studies in Dehradun, Delhi, came to Odisha and politics. Mohapatra then acted as a mentor to son Naveen Patnaik.
Mohapatra helped Naveen, who was said to be unable to read and write Odia properly, in the party and in the government. But in 2012, when Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik went abroad for the first time - to London, Mohapatra tried to seize power with the help of some party leaders. Congress is said to have helped in this too.
Biju Janata Dal had 104 members in Odisha's then 144-member assembly. Mohapatra was able to muster the support of only about 30 people. At this time it was Pandian who held most of the MLAs and ministers under his control for Naveen Patnaik and is said to have thwarted Mohapatra's coup attempt.
That incident happened in 2012. Pandiyan was very junior compared to others at that time, despite the fact that he was working in the Chief Minister's office. Pandian has become a very reliable supporter of Naveen Patnaik in difficult moments in the party and in the government. As a non-Odia speaker, Pandian became Naveen's complete loyalist even while serving as an IAS officer.
Pandian did not come to the outside world in a big way until the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. But after the election victory Pandian started acting as Naveen Patnaik's face and voice. Naveen Patnaik also fully endorsed it. Pandian exerted his dominance not only in the government administration but also in the party.
Married to a female IAS officer from Odisha, Pandian also started taking a keen interest in Odisha politics. Naveen Patnaik is not married. He is also 77 years old. Naveen has been the Chief Minister of Odisha for 23 years. So far, he has not nominated anyone as his successor.. Considering them, there was a talk in the political circle that Pandian will be dropped in the field soon. In this situation, Pandian suddenly resigned from his post and took voluntary retirement. The central government also approved his voluntary retirement. Soon after, he was appointed as the head of `5-D Initiative and Modern Odisha', which implements Odisha government's development plans. This post has cabinet status. Besides, this department is under the direct control of the Chief Minister
