Ram Mohan Rao is said to be trusted lieutenant of Jayalalithaa and he oversaw the state administration when Jayalalithaa was in the hospital for about 75 days.
Tamil Nadu leader of opposition, DMK’s Stalin calls the IT raid on Chief secretary “unprecedented”, says it has brought shame to Tamil Nadu. Chief Secretary is the Top Most in the state government bureaucracy. So, this raid has come as a total surprise.
