TDP senior leader Gali Muddu Krishnama Naidu has questioned why CBI was not arresting Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy despite his ‘looting the State’ when his father Dr. Y S Rajasekhara Reddy was chief minister.
In a statement here on Sunday, he alleged that the Centre and State governments were saving Jagan despite the fact that he had amassed Rs one lakh crores through corrupt practices. He questioned why the CBI which arrested senior IAS officers Y. Srilakshmi, B P Acharya and Raja Gopal, Vijaya Sai Reddy, Sunil Reddy and Koneru Prasad even before filing the charge-sheet was not arresting Jagan, who was a prime accused in OMC, Emaar Properties and illegal assets cases. He also questioned as to why the government was not canceling the allotment of mines and lands worth several lakhs of rupees illegally to different parties, though the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) pointed out the glaring irregularities. “Should the government do it or the CBI?”, he asked.
He also asked the government why it was not recovering thousands of crores of rupees Jagan got into his companies as investments through dubious means. He alleged that the Union and State governments were hesitating to arrest Jagan as Congress president Sonia Gandhi had her own share in the ill-gotten wealth of Jagan and the kickbacks in the 2G spectrum scam.
LAUGHS AT CHIRANJEEVI
Gali Muddu Krishnama Naidu has ridiculed Chiranjeevi for stating that he would ensure victory of Congress candidates in five of the 18 Assembly seats going to by-polls. He said that he could claim to be a great leader if he could ensure his party’s victory in Tirupati, the seat he vacated and Narsapuram in his home district. He said that Chiranjeevi did not know that Congress party had alliances with Lalu Prasad Yadav and Karunaninidhi knowing well that they were corrupt shows his political ignorance.
He also said that Chiranjeevi should first explain why Congress was continuing its alliance with DMK before threatening any one else of meeting the same fate as DMK. He also said that Chiranjeevi should first explain the sacrifices made by Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul Gandhi before praising about their sacrifices. He questioned whether Chiranjeevi has forgotten that people taught him a lesson and told him that he did not have the stature to criticize Chandrababu Naidu. (NSS)
