HYDERABAD: The acrimony between Guntur MP Rayapati Sambasiva Rao and Major Industries Minister Kanna Laxminarayana took a curious turn with the surfacing of a letter allegedly written by the former giving details of the corrupt activities of over a dozen Congress leaders from Guntur.
Mr. Sambasiva Rao cried foul alleging that it was a forged letter circulated by some vested interests within the party to malign him. The already surcharged political atmosphere in Guntur district suddenly turned serious with the alleged letter naming a host of Congress leaders from the district.
Complaint to SP
Talking to reporters here on Thursday, the Guntur MP said that he had already lodged a complaint with the local SP seeking an in-depth inquiry into the mischievous letter. “I admit that two letters were submitted to AICC president Sonia Gandhi but that contained only details of the alleged corruption of Mr. Laxminarayana,” he clarified.
He said the letterhead used by the miscreants was an old one with his previous Chennai address. “My latest letterheads are printed with the Guntur and Delhi addresses,” he observed. Further, the MP said the signature on the letterhead was also forged.
Stands by charges
Stating that he stood by the allegations levelled against Mr. Laxminarayana, the senior Congress leader tendered unconditional apology to all the leaders whose names allegedly figure in the forged letter. He said the AICC president had taken a serious note of the charges of corruption against Mr. Lxminarayana and was looking into it.
