Vijay to remove astrologer Rathin Pandit? Tamil Nadu CM says he may reconsider OSD appointment after backlash

Radhan Pandit: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay is facing political heat after appointing astrologer Rathin Pandit as Officer on Special Duty (OSD) and political wing secretary in the CM’s office. Allies and opposition leaders questioned how an astrologer could hold an official government role in a party that claims to follow rationalist Dravidian ideology. After the backlash snowballed, Vijay said he would “reconsider certain issues” raised by opposition parties.
