VISAKHAPATNAM: In spite of senior leaders of his party levelling allegations of corruption against Ministers Chief Minister K. Rosaiah has no guts to launch a probe since he is scared of losing his position, Telugu Desam politburo member and former Union Minster K. Yerran Naidu said here on Thursday.
If the Chief Minster was sincere, he could order a suo motu inquiry into the observation made by senior MP Rayapati Sambasiva Rao that there were many Madhu Kodas in the State Cabinet. Some other senior leaders also made serious allegations and the tainted ministers must resign or should be sacked and an inquiry held into the allegations against them, the TDP leader demanded at a press conference. It was not a personal attack but against the Government and its functioning and all the charges were backed by evidence, he asserted.
Without naming Revenue Minister Dharmana Prasada Rao, Mr. Yerran Naidu said that one Minister seeking inquiry and the CM accepting the same was a big drama.
Mr. Yerran Naidu said that Mr. Rosaiah has a five-point formula of making Andhra Pradesh enter the Guinness Book of World Records as the most corrupt state; turning the State into a “Neraandhra Pradesh as the Centre has already said crime rate was highest in the State; making the State a Madyandhra Pradesh as it was getting a revenue of more than Rs. 25,000 crores a year; diluting the welfare programmes introduced by the late Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy who won the elections again with an assurance that the programmes would continue and pushing the farmers into deeper trouble.
Mr. Yerran Naidu also criticised the Government for denying the benefit of corporate education to the SC, ST and BC students by withdrawing the fee reimbursement.
The TDP leaders criticised State Ministers Botcha Satyanarayana and Raghuveera Reddy for levelling corruption charges against his party president N. Chandrababu Naidu.
The two ministers were corrupt and thanks to Mr. Satyanarayana the region had lost the Volkswagen car factory, he said.
