Intelligence agencies are reportedly focusing on the activities of a retired IAS officer, who served at the CMO during the previous regime and is said to be a close and confident aide of the former chief minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy.
The coalition government is said to be worried over the reports that even after his retirement and also change of the government he is still enjoying influence on some key postings in the government. It seems that he has been maintaining close relations with some IAS officers who were very close to Jagan in the past.
Government sources are expressing surprise that he is still in touch with some key officials working in the secretariat even after 6 months of change of government. The issue of Dhanunjay Reddy pulling the plug on the developments of the coalition government is causing a stir.
Some IAS are expressing surprise at the key postings given to some officials who were known for their proximity with the previous YCP regime. There are allegations that mining and land irregularities took place under the watchful eye of Dhanunjay Reddy during the previous regime.
In the past, the TDP also made big allegations that Dhanunjay Reddy was a witness to the corruption and irregularities of the YCP leaders. It is well known that at that time, no file moved in the CM’s office unless Dhanunjay Reddy said so, and that contractors were not paid bills unless he clears.
There is a discussion in government circles that Dhanunjay Reddy, who was silent for some time after retiring from the service during the elections, has become active again. It seems that he is trying to cover up the ongoing investigations into the mistakes and irregularities committed during the previous government’s tenure.
There is also a discussion that he is collecting information from close officials and secretariat employees about what is happening in the government. So that, he is reportedly making attempts to prevent the government from finding evidence for internal investigations and vigilance investigations.
There are doubts that Dhanunjay Reddy is also involved in spreading false propaganda about the government and some officials on social media. The government, which is alerted after knowing these things, is investigating this matter through intelligence agencies.
