Hyderabad, February 09: The Congress MLA from Anantapur, Mr Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, and Mr B. Gurunadha Reddy, has alleged that the Telugu Desam chief, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu, and chairman of the Eenadu group, Mr Ramoji Rao, colluded with the Reliance chief, Mr Mukesh Ambani, to make money for themselves.
Addressing a media conference on Tuesday, Mr Gurunadha Reddy said he has written a detailed letter on February 5 to the Chief Justice of the Andhra Pradesh High Court, with documentary evidence of the charge.“It is for the High Court to consider my letter. I have provided all relevant documents and am waiting for the response,” he said.
Giving details of his allegations, Mr Reddy said that when Mr Naidu was the CM, bidding for oil and natural gas reserves in the Krishna-Godavari basin was opened. Mr Naidu intentionally prevented the state government from participating in the tender process, to help Mr Ambani to win.
In return for his indirect help, Mr Naidu received a lot of money from Mr Ambani, Mr Gurunadha Reddy alleged. Chairman of the Eenadu group, Mr Ramoji Rao, who was a close confidant of Mr Naidu, also had a deal with Mr Ambani to offer shares of his company to a firm developed by Reliance from which he benefited to the tune of `2,000 crore, Mr Gurunadha Reddy alleged.
