SCS for AP not a big problem, but Central aid is very important: Pawan Kalyan

Referring to corruption allegations against the TDP, Pawan Kalyan said” :He did not raise corruption issue now. I have been raising the issue now and then with the Chief Minister. But he did not take it serious. Some 40 MLAs have informed me that there was corruption in the government”, he said and demanded that the Centre order a probe into his allegation.

Though he has a close relations with the Prime Minister, but he has his own limitation, Pawan Kalyan said and refuted TDP accusation that he was levelling corruption charges against the TDP with the support of the BJP. He affirmed that he has no links with anybody, but people are behind him. There was no question of any understanding with the BJP. The people of AP are unhappy with the BJP, he said.
