AP Govt asks Departments to Make YSRCP Regime’s Secret GOs Public

Hyderabad: The AP government has taken a major decision. It decided to expose all the GOs kept secret in the YSRCP government. The General Administration Department (GAD) Secretary S Suresh Kumar issued an order directing the concerned authorities to upload all secret GOs issued from August 15, 2021 to August 28, 2024, on the GOIR website. The GOIR website was launched in 2008. Since then, copies of government orders and GO have been uploaded on it. However, the orders issued between August 15, 2021 and August 28, 2024, during the YSRCP regime, were not uploaded on the site. The TDP and Jana Sena also criticized the then government for deliberately keeping the GOs a secret. Now the coalition government has decided to expose those secret GOs.

GAD secretary Suresh Kumar said official orders issued by the then government for transparency and information should be made available to the citizens.

He also said official decisions would give clarity to the people in the form of the GOs. If the government orders pertaining to the three-year period are not available to the public, there will be a lack of information, he said.
