PC Jaffer, who temporarily replaced Manjushree, returned to his role as the Head of Department of Public Instruction.
The Karnataka government has reinstated IAS officer N Manjushree, who was transferred out by the Election Commission of India during the Lok Sabha elections, as the Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Mandya district. She was among 16 officers transferred on Friday with PC Jaffer, who temporarily replaced Manjushree, returning to his role as the Commissioner of Department of Public Instruction. During the intense election campaign in Mandya, independent candidate Sumalatha Ambareesh accused Manjushree of helping her opponent Nikhil Kumaraswamy in changing his nomination affidavit. The Election Commission of India (EC) had stepped in to transfer Manjushree from her post temporarily in April. Chief Electoral Officer Sanjeev Kumar went to Mandya to probe the allegations made by Sumalatha. The independent candidate had alleged that the DC did not act over alleged errors made in the nomination papers submitted by Nikhil. Polling in Mandya took place on April 18 and Sumalatha emerged victorious by 1.3 lakh votes. Manjushree's transfer came after the EC had earlier transferred Hassan DC Akram Pasha following a complaint raised by Hassan BJP MLA Preetham Gowda accusing the DC of favouring Prajwal Revanna. Priyanka Mary Francis was posted as Hassan DC but after the Lok Sabha elections concluded, she was removed from the position and Akram was reinstated. Meanwhile, Tushar Giri Nath was put in charge of Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB), TK Anil Kumar as tourism secretary, and D Randeep has been reinstated as additional commissioner in the BBMP.
