New Delhi, Jan 1 (IBNS) Haryana bureaucrat Ashok Khemka on Friday said he has been promote to the rank of Principal Secretary.

"Wish all a very Happy New Year! Grateful to the Almighty. Awaiting posting on promotion to the rank of Principal Secretary," Khemka tweeted.

Khemka had angered the earlier Congress government in Haryana  for cancelling a land deal involving Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra.

A land deal between Vadra and real estate major DLF  struck in 2012 was challenged by him.

The sale by Vadra of 3.5 acres of land in Gurgaon near Delhi for 57 crores was objected by the senior bureaucrat.

Khemka was transferred within days of cancelling that deal.
