Call Money operators should be punished: YSRCP

Demanding the TDP government to refrain from interfering in the investigation of the Call Money racket, YSR Congress has said that it will raise the issue in the Assembly as well.

‘There are reports which point out that the perpetrators of the crime have links with TDP leaders and are supporters of the ruling party and there are efforts to cover up the issue, but we demand that the culprits should be brought to book,’ party spokesperson K Parthasarathi told reporters here on Sunday.

Ever since Chandrababu Naidu has said in the Collectors’ Conference that TDP cadre should get a free hand as they have an election to win, the message has sunk deep and there were incidents of cadre going berserk.

Officials should comply with the rules and discharge their duty without favour or prejudice to send a right message and the issue along with others will be raised in the Assembly session, he said.

The social crisis has stemmed out of the failure of Chandababu Naidu to keep up his promise of waiver of DWACRA loans as many of them were declared as defaulters by banks. Efforts should be on to show resources for credit for the women groups and increase their economic status, he said. (INN)
