The government has dismissed Kadapa Mayor Suresh Babu, citing violations of municipal regulations regarding the awarding of contracts to his family-owned company. The Municipal Administration Department conducted an inquiry and found irregularities in contract allocations, leading to his removal.
Charges Against Suresh Babu
Officials alleged that Suresh Babu awarded a ₹60 lakh contract to a firm linked to his family members, violating municipal governance rules. Based on these findings, the government declared his removal due to misuse of power.
Inquiry and Government’s Decision
Following a notice issued by the municipal department, Suresh Babu appeared before the Principal Secretary yesterday to respond to the allegations. After reviewing the details, the department decided to strip him of his position, deeming him ineligible to continue.
This decision marks a significant shakeup in Kadapa’s local administration, raising concerns about transparency and governance in municipal affairs.
