Mon Feb 24 14:50:00 UTC 2025: ## AP Fibernet Chairman G.V. Reddy Resigns, Citing Corruption and Disagreement with CM
**Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh:** G.V. Reddy, Chairman of Andhra Pradesh Fibernet, has resigned from his post and the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), citing a disagreement with Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu over the handling of corruption within the organization. Reddy’s resignation has sent shockwaves through the state’s political landscape.
Reddy’s decision follows a reported confrontation with Naidu over the conduct of the Fibernet Managing Director, an IAS officer named Dinesh Kumar. Reddy publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with Kumar’s actions, stating that only one person – either himself or the officer – could hold significant power within the organization. He reportedly felt pressured by Naidu to compromise on his stance against the alleged corrupt practices within Fibernet.
Reddy’s resignation letter, submitted to CM Naidu, expressed his desire to remain distant from politics while wishing well for the TDP. He cited a Greek proverb, “First learn to live, then you can live righteously,” suggesting that his decision prioritized personal integrity over political expediency.
Reddy’s actions have fueled speculation regarding the internal dynamics within the TDP, particularly concerning the representation of Reddy community members within the ruling party. His previous role as a strong critic of the opposition leader, Jagan Mohan Reddy, is now juxtaposed with his current disappointment with the current government’s handling of alleged corruption.
The resignation has sparked mixed reactions. While some support Reddy’s stance, praising his integrity and self-respect, others view his departure as a significant loss for the TDP. The controversy surrounding the Fibernet Managing Director and the allegations of corruption remain central to the ongoing discussion.
