IMG cupboard has more sekletons: YSRCP

YSR Congress MLC Jupudi Prabhakar Rao today said more skeletons will come out of the cupboard during the CBI inquiry into IMG land allotment. Talking to reporters here, Mr Rao said Telugu Desam Party leaders trying to attach motives to a senior journalist who is party to the PIL, which has formed the basis of investigation, shows the double standards of the party and its President N Chandrababu Naidu. ‘The same senior leaders were in all praise when a PIL was filed by a Congress MLA and three senior TDP leaders impleaded in the case against its Party President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. When it came to a PIL against IMG land allotments involving N Chandrababu Naidu, things started looking differently to them’, he said. Prime land running into an extent of hundreds of acres was allotted by N Chandrababu Naidu to an obscure company with questionable credentials without following the procedure and this was questioned in the PIL and CBI will be probing into the issue under court’s directive. When CBI carried out investigation and arrested Mr Reddy based on a PIL which was filed by political opponents (one Congress and three TDP leaders) TDP was speaking from a high moral pedestal but when it came to its own frontcourt implicating Chandrababu Naidu questions are being raised about the credentials of those who filed the PIL this is foolhardy and unacceptable, he said. People are keenly observing this contradiction and their verdict in the 2014 general elections will be no different than the mandate given in the recent 18 by-elections, he said. UNI
