K Dhananjay Reddy, the senior IAS officer who once wielded considerable power in the Chief Minister’s Office during Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy’s tenure, is now reportedly scrambling for support as he finds himself entangled in the multi-crore Andhra Pradesh liquor scam.
With the High Court rejecting his plea for anticipatory bail, Reddy is said to be reaching out — but finding few willing to help.
Once considered the gatekeeper of the CMO, Dhananjay Reddy’s clout had made him unapproachable even to ruling party legislators.
A former MLA noted that Reddy was so dominant that he often blocked access to the then Chief Minister, leaving many feeling sidelined.
Now, with his influence gone, those same leaders are keeping their distance.
