A case has been registered against former Rajya Sabha member and BJP leader C M Ramesh, who is contesting as the candidate of the NDA alliance for the Anakapalli Lok Sabha seat. The police have registered a case against CM Ramesh, Chodavaram MLA candidate KSNS Raju and six others.
In this context, on Saturday night, CM Ramesh was given a notice under Section 41A. He was summoned in the notice to attend for the hearing on the 9th of this month.
A person named Buchiraju runs a wholesale tiles and marbles business in Chodavaram. However, on information that he was not paying GST properly, a team of officials from the Director of Revenue Intelligence Department conducted inspections on Thursday.
When the businessman sought CM Ramesh help in this regard, he immediately rushed to the spot with his followers and argued with the officials. He questioned them how they can do inspections without giving a notice.
As a result, the Assistant Director of AP Revenue Intelligence Department complained to the police that CM Ramesh had obstructed their duties and threatened them. Based on this complaint Chodavaram police registered a case against CA Ramesh.
A case has been registered against CM Ramesh along with Chodavaram TDP candidate KSNS Raju, tiles trader Buchiraju and Ramakrishna along with two others. Chodavaram police registered a case under various sections based on the complaint of DRI officials.
But CM Ramesh’s version regarding the case is different. He is accusing Chodavaram YCP MLA Karanam Dharmashree of asking the businessman for Rs. 1 crore. It is also said that the businessman has recently joined TDP from YCP.
On the other hand, MLA Karanam Dharmashree denied CM Ramesh’s allegations. He said that he will file a defamation suit against Buchibabu, the owner of the tiles company along with CM Ramesh.
