Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy tried to claim that he is offering very `honest’ governance and giving no scope for corruption. But his own government agency has received more than 8 lakh complaints alleging corrupt practices by his ministers and his party MLAs. But hardly any action was taken against any one.
Jana Sena PAC chairman and former speaker Nadendla Manohar revealed that the complaints were made by common people from their own experiences to the Anti Corruption Bureau. According to him, the ACB has received 8.03 lakh complaints during its five-year rule.
He asked what action was taken by the ACB officials when they received 2.06 lakh complaints against ministers and their followers and 4.39 lakh complaints against MLAs.
He recalled that Chief Minister Y S Jagan repeatedly claims that his governance is transparent and schemes are being delivered to poor people without giving any scope of corruption. But the ACB record states a very different picture of the governance.
He accused the CM of telling blatant lies and deceiving the people. He asserted that corruption has increased in all departments and in fact multiplied during the last five years. Stating that the government boasts of buying buffaloes at a cost of Rs.2,500 crores in the state, Manohar wondered that there is no record of distribution of buffaloes in any village.
Meanwhile, Janasena chief Pawan Kalyan is launching his poll campaign from Saturday. In the first phase, he will tour in 10 constituencies, starting from his Pithapuram constituency.
