Andhra Pradesh Government Dismisses Kakarla Venkatrami Reddy From Permanent Service
The Andhra Pradesh state government, led by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, has issued formal orders to dismiss Kakarla Venkatrami Reddy from his official service. The decision marks the final administrative action against the high-profile employee leader who has been under scrutiny for several months.
Background of Suspension and Final Dismissal
Kakarla Venkatrami Reddy, who served as an Assistant Secretary in the Andhra Pradesh Secretariat, had been under suspension since Chandrababu Naidu assumed office as Chief Minister. The latest government order upgrades this disciplinary status to a permanent dismissal from service.
The timing of the order has gained political attention as the notification was released on the birthday of Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu. This administrative move effectively terminates Reddy’s tenure within the state bureaucracy following a period of prolonged suspension and departmental review.

Leadership Roles in Employee Unions
Venkatrami Reddy is a prominent figure in state employee politics, having previously served as the President of the Secretariat Employees Association. At the time of his dismissal, he held the position of President of the Andhra Pradesh Government Employees Federation.
Over the past 22 months, Reddy has been vocal regarding various grievances and issues faced by government employees. His tenure as a union leader was characterized by frequent questioning of administrative policies, which often brought him into direct confrontation with the state leadership.
Administrative Impact and Legal Context
The dismissal of an Assistant Secretary-rank officer is a significant administrative step that follows specific protocols under the Civil Services Conduct Rules. The government has utilized its executive powers to finalize the removal, citing grounds that led to his initial suspension.
This development is expected to trigger a reaction within the various employee federations across the state. While the government moves to enforce discipline within the Secretariat, supporters of the federation leader may view the dismissal as a move to curtail union influence within the administrative headquarters.
