Mahendra Reddy

Mahendra Reddy is a Fijian politician and former Member of the Parliament of Fiji. He served as the Minister for Agriculture, Waterways and Environment from 2017 to 2022.

In March 2009, he was appointed as the Chair of the Commerce Commission. In July 2014, he resigned as Commerce Commission director and from the Reserve Bank of Fiji board chairman to join the FijiFirst party to contest in the elections.

On 4 July 2017 Reddy appeared in court on charges of bribery and using undue influence over allegations he offered a water supply to a school in exchange for the school manager's vote. Due to this, he resigned from his post. However, in December 2017, due to no conclusive evidence, those charges were dropped, and Reddy was appointed as the new minister for Ministry of Waterways.

He was re-elected in the 2022 election with 2654 votes. On 26 January 2023 Reddy resigned from Parliament. He was replaced as an MP by Penioni Ravunawa.
