G V Reddy, the Andhra Pradesh Fibernet chairman, has resigned within a few months of his appointment. Surprisingly, he has also quit the TDP.
The reasons are simple—he had no real role to play other than following instructions. He couldn’t use his own judgment and was instead expected to obey the directives of the party's coterie.
Whether it's TDP, YSRCP, or BRS, most regional parties are often controlled by a select group of individuals—similar to the concept of a "Deep State" in some countries.
Those holding government positions—be it Ministers, MPs, MLAs, or nominated representatives—cannot act independently.
Their suggestions, advice, and inputs hold little or no value, and they shouldn’t expect any credit for their contributions.
They are often required to suppress their individuality, compromise their business interests, and sacrifice their integrity to function within the system.
Therefore, anyone with a sense of self-respect tends to leave such positions within a short time. G V Reddy’s resignation serves as a lesson, and many individuals across different parties are suffering or will suffer due to their decision to join politics and government.
If someone is thriving in their business, they should focus on their business. While political connections can be used for business growth and expansion, actively involving oneself in government often leads to regret in the long run.
Take, for example, Mohana Krishna Mannava, a successful NRI businessman who is now part of the TDP government. It’s only a matter of time before he regrets this decision, as he’s unlikely to gain anything positive from it besides eventual disruption.
Similarly, we know of some NRIs who are now staying back in the USA solely because they were involved in the YSRCP government. They lost their businesses, are facing legal cases, and have sacrificed their peace of mind.
Politics is not the right path for a successful businessman. It’s only suitable for sycophants who can attack opponents with verbal abuses, flatter party heads for their selfish needs, and are willing to face legal cases, defamation, and insults when the government changes.
