Vijay Removes Astrologer From Officer On Special Duty Post Criticism
Vijay removes astrologer from OSD post following public criticism
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay has reportedly removed an astrologer from the post of Officer on Special Duty (OSD) following mounting criticism over the appointment. The decision comes after questions were raised in political and public circles regarding the suitability of appointing an astrologer to a formal administrative role within the Chief Minister’s office.
The controversy began shortly after reports emerged that the astrologer had been brought in as an OSD, a position typically reserved for professionals assisting with governance, coordination, and policy-related responsibilities. Critics argued that such an appointment blurred the lines between administrative functioning and personal advisory roles, triggering debate over institutional standards and decision-making practices.
According to the latest developments, the Chief Minister’s office has now reversed the decision, effectively ending the astrologer’s tenure as OSD. While official details regarding the exact timing and internal reasoning have not been extensively disclosed, the move is being viewed as a response aimed at defusing political backlash and restoring administrative focus.

The appointment and subsequent removal have drawn mixed reactions. Opposition voices and commentators have questioned the initial selection process, calling for greater transparency in staffing decisions within the Chief Minister’s office. Supporters, however, argue that the swift reversal demonstrates responsiveness to public concern and willingness to correct controversial decisions.
The episode has added to ongoing scrutiny of administrative appointments linked to political leadership, with renewed emphasis on maintaining procedural clarity and institutional credibility. Further official clarification from the Chief Minister’s office is awaited as the matter continues to generate discussion in political circles.
