Chandrababu Naidu remand: Govt. will take the ‘skill development scam’ to its logical conclusion, asserts Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy

There is no vengeance, or political vendetta behind the arrest of TDP national president Chandrababu Naidu, nor is it a big victory, but law is taking its own course, says YSRCP leader Sajjala Ramarkishna Reddy

The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) has asserted that the judicial remand for Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu is not a victory, or a big achievement.

“The law is taking its own course, and the State government will take the A.P. Skill Development Corporation case to its logical conclusion,” Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy, YSRCP State general secretary and Adviser (Public Affairs), said while addressing the media soon after the ACB court verdict, at the party office on September 10.

He alleged that public money had been siphoned off in a planned manner in the skill development project.

“Now, the State government’s effort is to see that none will dare commit such a mistake in the future,” he said.

Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy and the YSRCP government wanted transparency and accountability in the systems, and would endeavour to ensure them, he said, and reiterated that there was no vengeance, or political vendetta behind the arrest.

The investigating agencies would carry out their work, and the court would decide, Mr. Ramakrishna Reddy said.

Mr. Naidu, however, was blowing the issue out of proportions with an eye on the elections, he alleged. He further said that Mr. Naidu’s son, Lokesh, or his “adopted son” (Pawan Kalyan) and others were talking out of desperation.
