Sircar has also served as the Culture Secretary.
Trivedi had resigned in February this year dramatically announcing his resignation in the middle of the Budget session.
Reacting to his nomination, Sircar said, “I was a bureaucrat. I am not a political person but I would work for the development of the people and raise the issues concerning the masses in parliament.”
