‘Not Leaving Telangana!’: Smita Sabharwal Ends Deputation Rumours

Rumours of Senior IAS Officer Smita Sabharwal, who played a key role in the BRS government, wanting to join the Central Services have been doing the rounds for the past few days. It is rumoured that she was not willing to work in the newly formed Congress government and for this reason, she will join the Central Services. In the meantime, Smita Sabharwal has come out and denied this, yesterday. She dismissed the campaign against her as completely false and baseless. To this extent, Smita responded on X at around 10:30 PM, Wednesday. She even pinned this post on her timeline.

She posted on X saying, “I see some news channels have reported a fake news- that I am going for central deputation, which is widely circulated. It is totally false and baseless.

Along with this, it was spread that Smita had left after Amrapali from the Central Services met the Chief Minister. With this latest announcement, it is clear that Smita Sabharwal will continue in Telangana.
