IAS Officer Divya Mittal Joins Politics

TV9 Hindi · politics

2013 batch IAS officer Divya Mittal has announced her entry into politics after taking voluntary retirement. She plans to form an independent political platform with the public, rather than joining an existing party. Mittal stated her focus will be on amplifying the voices of those whose issues remain unheard within the system. This move follows a trend of former civil servants in Uttar Pradesh entering politics, with notable examples including former DGP Sulkhan Singh and ex-IPS officer Amitabh Thakur, who have also formed their own political parties.
