GV Reddy vs Dinesh Kumar: CMO Links and Power Play

The drama surrounding GV Reddy’s resignation from AP FiberNet had more layers than what met the eye. The real conflict? His complaints against MD Dinesh Kumar, an IAS officer who remained untouchable thanks to strong backing from a key officer in the Chief Minister’s Office. Despite serious concerns raised by GV Reddy, nobody could lay a finger on Dinesh, as the CMO officer’s close ties shielded him. Adding to the intrigue was the involvement of a 6-foot-tall IAS officer from the CMO, who also lent support to the IAS officer. This standoff reached a boiling point, culminating in GV Reddy’s resignation. But the twist came later – after GV Reddy stepped down, Dinesh himself was transferred. Bureaucrats couldn’t help but wonder why this wasn’t done earlier. Many believe that had the CMO officer’s influence not been in play, the situation wouldn’t have escalated this far. The larger fallout? The entire episode brought unnecessary controversy, with murmurs in political circles that the way Dinesh handled the situation ended up creating trouble for the ruling TDP party and even the Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu .
