THE Andhra Pradesh government has removed Kothamaddi Suresh Babu from the Kadapa Mayor post, accusing him of violating municipal rules to benefit his family's business.
In its order on Wednesday, the Municipal Administration and Urban Development Department claimed Suresh Babu violated the GHMC Act, 1955, by awarding civil works contracts worth ₹55.64 lakh to Vardhini Constructions, a company owned by his wife, Jayasree, and son, Amaresh.
The controversy kicked off when Kadapa MLA Madhavi Reddappagari filed a complaint with the Vigilance and Enforcement Department, flagging what she called "huge irregularities" in Kadapa's municipal contracts.
