Pawan Kalyan Also A Partner In Naidu's Skill Development Scam, Alleges Jogi

Vijayawada: Minister for housing Jogi Ramesh has alleged that despite the involvement of Telugu Desam chief Nara Chandrababu Naidu in the AP Skill Development scam, TD leaders are trying to mislead the public and trying to gain sympathy from the arrest.

“But, the people of AP will not fall in the TD’s trap,” Ramesh said and claimed that there was no political vengeance behind the arrest of Naidu. The CID police followed the norms in the investigations, he said.

The minister alleged that JS chief Pawan Kalyan was also a partner in the scam as he was in the alliance of the TD, BJP and Jana Sena in the 2014 elections and later too.

Addressing the media here on Friday, the minister said Pawan allied with the BJP on one side and with the TD on the other side. “A war against Jagan Mohan Reddy is a war against the five crore people of AP. A majority of the public are benefiting from welfare schemes of the YSRC government,” he added.

Ramesh asked Pawan how much he got out of the Rs 371 crore taken away by Chandrababu.

He asked Nara Lokesh what he would say in Delhi regarding the Rs 371 crore scam of his father Chandrababu. Lokesh father's history of corruption was known only in AP but now, with Lokesh visiting Delhi to plead his father’s case, the whole nation would know about the illegalities of Naidu.”

He said that in the 2024 elections, defeat is certain for Chandrababu and Pawan Kalyan and AP people will drown TD and Jana Sena in Godavari and Krishna rivers.

“If Pawan Kalyan wants to make a movie on the present political scenario, he should title it as “PK between two mental cases” with a tag line called Bokkalo Babu 7691, to make it a great movie. PK went inside the central jail, discussed alliances and packages with Naidu and announced his party’s alliance with TD,” he said.
