In a dramatic turn of events, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has cancelled the transfer orders of several IAS and IPS officers after discovering a major corruption plot within his own team. Highly reliable sources from the AP CMO reveal that the CM had recently approved a list to transfer district collectors, joint collectors, and senior police officials. The original plan, conceived nearly two months ago, was to sideline tainted officers by moving them to non-critical posts and strategically assign trusted officers to key positions.

However, sources say that some high-ranking officials close to Chandrababu betrayed his trust. These insiders allegedly had financial dealings with certain officers and manipulated the transfer process for personal gain. In return for large sums of money, they reportedly pushed to place these officers in influential posts. The transfer list was finalized and signed by the CM, unaware of the hidden agenda.

The turning point came when a credible whistleblower brought the matter to Chandrababu’s attention, exposing the corruption and lobbying that shaped the transfers. After personally verifying the claims, Chandrababu confirmed the allegations were true.

Shocked and angered by this breach of trust, the CM ordered all transfers to be scrapped. Sources say Chandrababu expressed strong displeasure, especially at the fact that senior officials he relied upon had accepted huge bribes to mislead him.

Currently, the CM is working to identify which officials are genuinely loyal and which have acted against the state’s interests. This process has delayed fresh transfer decisions. The revelation has sparked political and administrative debates, highlighting the deep-rooted challenges of tackling corruption within the system.
