Accusing a large scale scandal of thousands of crore of rupees during previous YCP regime in the name of TDR bonds, TDP senior leader Buddha Venkanna urged the DGP to take custody of the former chief minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy to question him so that to grab real facts.
He claimed that there is evidence that thousands of crores of rupees have been misused and looted under the grab of TDP scandal and details were provided to the DGP. He said that DGP was shocked to know the details and promised to conduct an in-depth probe into this scam by AP CID.
He explained that this new fraud came to light after the NDA coalition government came to power in the state. According to him, YCP leaders bought the government lands in large number of acres where the government price of the land was Rs 2,000 per acre.
As the government has the authority to increase the land prices indiscriminately, it had increased those land prices upto Rs 30,000 as part of a grand conspiracy.
“Even if the government does not need it, they have taken bonds to buy those lands. This is a scam of thousands of crores of rupees. Jagan is the main architect. The former CM gave orders to the collectors from his cell and pressured them to increase the land prices”, Venkanna added.
He revealed that this scandal was revealed after the change of government and came to the notice of the new Municipal Administration Minister Dr P Narayana. The TDP leader asserted that they will continue their fight against Jagan’s large-scale corruption till the time they recover those looted lakhs of rupees public money.
“The real facts will come out only if the CID officials take Jagan into their custody first and interrogate him. I will continue my fight till this case is closed. How much was the original land rate in the past? How much did the YCP government increase after buying it? How did it change hands after that? What is the role of anyone in this whole affair? Should be probed”, he added.
Surprisingly `Fire-Brand’ RK Roja Turned soft, silent on opponents!
Former minister and popular actress RK Rosa was known for her fire-brand approach, wherever she is. Whether she was in TDP or later in YCP, she became popular with her harsh punches and hard-hitting comments against political opponents.
But after humiliating defeat of her party and also herself in Nagiri assembly segment, from where she had won twice earlier, she became a completely changed person. Everyone surprising that no more hart hitting statements are coming from her. She suddenly turned to be a soft person and confining herself giving sermons mostly to her party cadre.
She is said to be in a confused state in her political career, as no more fortunes are seen in her party YCP. As her own party key leaders worked hard to defeat her, she may not expect much support from her party leaders if she resorts to aggressive nature against the ruling TDP.
Though initially political life was given to her by TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu, who encouraged her as Telugu Mahila state president and also gave her the seat of his native constituency Chandragiri. But after her defeat in Chandragiri in 2009, on the invitation of the then Chief Minister Dr YS Rajasekhar Reddy she joined Congress.
But, unfortunately even before formally taking part in Congress activities Dr Reddy was dead. Later, she followed Jaganmohan Reddy and joined YSRCP. Since then she has emerged as a bitter critic of TDP and particularly Chandrababu Naidu.
But now after the poll result, she suddenly turned mute as her party itself ignored her. During the last five years of YCP regime, she has emerged as a fire-brand critic of Chandrababu Naidu, Pawan Kalyan and Nara Lokesh. She even never hesitated to use `insulting’ language against them.
However, as the election results were negative for YCP, Roja became silent. Especially as Pawan Kalyan won with a 100 percent strike rate, Roja became targeted by Janasainiks and Pawan Kalyan’s fans. Irrespective of the parties, some people are trolling her on social media.
However, Roja remained silent and did not respond to any spicy words against her. She seems to be angry that party chief YS Jaganmohan Reddy himself did not come to her rescue when she was targeted by top leaders of the party during elections. But the same leader went to jail to console ex MLA Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy and issued a `clean certificate’ to him.
During the election itself, Roja criticized the party leaders and shed tears saying that some leaders worked for her defeat. Though she said to be ready to leave the party, not finding any other option for her.
