Hyderabad: YSR Congress has demanded the ACB to widen its net to investigate the cash-for-vote case as TDP leadership seems to be the kingpin of the deal while Revanth Reddy is only a puppet.
"It is apparent that the strings are being pulled by the TDP Boss N Chandrababu Naidu to distribute the ill-gotten wealth while Revanth Reddy is only the front man. There is every need to investigate the origin of the corruption the person and source from where the direction and money has come from which needs an investigation on a widened canvas," party spokesperson Ambati Rambabu told reporters here on Monday.
It is like rob Peter and pay Paul as TDP leadership has been amassing wealth through Pattiseema and other commercial ventures in Andhra Pradesh only to funnel them in Telangana state for ulterior motives. The big money that is being poured in for the sake of one MLC seat is mindboggling and is against the moral and democratic spirit.
This is how TDP has been going to polls by nominating entrepreneurs as in-charges region-wise and in the aftermath of election they are to plough back a bounty harvest in the form of contracts and concessions.
“We demand the ACB to widen its net and go into the details of the source of the huge money that has flown in and the person who has given Revanth Reddy the direction. The reference of Boss points towards Chandrababu Naidu who has the history of handling shady deals.” he said.
