Strongly refuting former chief minister and YCP chief YS Jaganmohan Reddy’s claims that there was no corruption in his deal with Adani in solar power purchase agreement, APCC chief and his sister YS Sharmila challenged him to swear on the Bible he he was really not benefited financially from Adani.
If there really were no secret deals with Adani and the American investigative agencies have made false allegations against him, she asked him to come out and accept her challenge. She ridiculed that he may be given an Oscar award for weaving lies so beautifully.
She asserted that Jagan is lying about where his name is in the report given by the American investigative agencies. She reminded him that it was not her or some one here but that the official American investigative agencies FBI and SEC themselves gave the report revealing that Rs 1750 crore was given to the AP Chief Minister in solar power contracts. “You were not the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh at that time?”, she asked.
Sharmila said that they have also given a 100-page report that the contracts were signed after the knots were tied and the report clearly states that they have collected evidence from various sources.
Moreover, she asked that if the state of Gujarat bought the unit price from Adani at Rs. 1.99 paise, why should Jagan be honored for paying 50 paise more from the same company and buying it at Rs. 2.49 paise? If no state in the country has come forward to sign a contract with Adani, she wondered why should he be awarded for coming forward to sign a contract at jet speed?
If the burden of transmission charges is not there, Sharmila asked why did Adani not give it to AP at Rs. 1.99 paise as per the rate given to Gujarat? Why did you agree to the rate of Rs. 2.49?
“The transmission charges will be a maximum of Rs. 1.70 paise per unit. But the energy department has been saying that there are no charges during your tenure. Isn’t your statement a complete lie? Is there any place in the country where confidentiality is maintained when a businessman officially meets a Chief Minister? Jagan Mohan Reddy should answer if he has the courage,” she added.
