Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu, who was implicated in a criminal case by the previous Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy government for allegedly indulging in corruption in the AP Fibernet affairs during his previous regime, has taken a revenge.
On Monday, the Naidu government issues orders seeking to suspend former AP Fibernet managing director Madhusudhan Reddy, an Indian Railway Accounts Service (IRAS) officer brought on deputation to the state by the Jagan government, for alleged corruption.
In the government order (GO), the state government alleged that Madhusudhan Reddy was trying to cover up his corrupt activities, including misuse of public funds, appointment of private persons against rules and tampering of records.
Stating that there were allegations that Reddy had indulged in corruption to the extent of Rs 800 crore, the GO asked him not to leave the headquarters as he had violated the central service rules and till the enquiry against him was completed.
The allegations against Madhusudhan Reddy included enhancement of salary bill from Rs 7.09 crore in 2019 to Rs 48 crore by resorting to indiscriminate appointments and granting of management contract to his own brother for Rs 12 crore per year.
“After the formation of the Naidu government, he made an attempt to destroy all the evidences including files, hard discs and other documents,” the GO said.
