Bengaluru: Mr Ajay Seth, a senior and upright IAS officer, has finally been given a prominent posting, and appointed as the managing director of Krishna Bhagya Jala Nigam.
As head of the commercial taxes department, Mr Seth had successfully fended off pressure from his political bosses not to act against e-retail companies, but had been asked to go on leave. He was later appointed secretary (expenditure), but he did not work there for long. He tried to get a central posting, but that did not come through.
