Congress Govt approached retired IAS Murali, former IPS Praveen Kumar before selecting ex-DGP Mahender Reddy for TSPSC chief post

A serious effort is said to have been made by the Congress Government to prefer former bureaucrats and police officers to head the controversy ridden Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) before it decided to zero in on a former DGP of Telangana.

Highly placed Government sources said the Government was determined to erase the poor reputation the Commission had earned in wake of the question paper leakage of Group I and II examinations, and decided to name retired IAS or IPS officer with clean image and impeccable track record as the chairperson. It was keen on roping in former IAS officer Akunuri Murali or former ADGP Dr. R. S. Praveen Kumar for the coveted post.
