UPSC Chairperson Manoj Soni has announced his premature resignation in order to pursue a life of ‘monkhood’, amidst a row over the appointment of Puja Khedkar. The decision came as a surprise to many, as Soni’s tenure as Chairperson had been relatively short and marked by controversies.
The resignation, reportedly unrelated to the ongoing controversy surrounding the appointment of Puja Khedkar to a senior position within the UPSC, has sparked speculation and intrigue within political circles. Sources close to Soni have indicated that he has been contemplating this move for some time, with a desire to retreat from the hustle and bustle of public office and lead a life of spiritual reflection.
Soni’s sudden decision to step down has left many unanswered questions about the future direction of the UPSC. With the search for a new Chairperson now underway, there are concerns about the potential impact on the organization’s operations and integrity. Soni’s tenure had been marked by efforts to modernize and streamline the UPSC’s processes, and it remains to be seen how his successor will uphold and build upon these initiatives.
As the dust settles on this unexpected development, all eyes will be on the UPSC as it navigates this period of transition. The legacy of Manoj Soni, and the circumstances surrounding his departure, will undoubtedly shape the organization’s future trajectory.
