It took the Government of India three years to accept his resignation.

South First’s Mahesh Goudar spoke to Sasikanth Senthil, teacher-turned-techie-turned-bureaucrat-turned-politician, on why he quit the civil service and joined the Indian National Congress.

The former IAS officer says conduct rules while in service bound him from raising his voice against ‘fascist forces’ and he yearned to protect the idea of a secular India.

Senthil, who is the Chairman of the Karnataka Congress election war room also talks about the vital phase of an ideological revival that Congress is in.
