Andhra Pradesh: More scams of Naidu and TD leaders to be exposed, says Ambati

VIJAYAWADA: Calling Telugu Desam chief Chandrababu Naidu a manipulator, water resources minister Ambati Rambabu said on Monday that the former chief minister landed in jail because of strong evidence against him.

"As for the AP Skill Development scam, no one argued that Naidu did no wrong. Rather, all including Naidu cited technical reasons to justify the syphoning off of public money, Rambabu told the media here.

He said the TD, its friendly media, leaders of the Jana Sena and other opposition parties in AP were spreading falsehood over the arrest of Naidu, the main accused in the skill development corporation scam.

“Apart from this, there are many scams like Fibernet, Amaravati lands etc and the details of these would come to light soon. Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan too is involved in the scam and PK is not a right person for politics. The bandh call given by the TD on Monday was a flop,” he said.

He said, “If you look at Chandrababu's life, it will tell you how he did injustices, committed fraud and corruption. The law is taking its course and the TD supporters know better than us that Chandrababu is corrupt. Have you forgotten how much anarchy Chandrababu caused by buying land around the hi-tech city in Hyderabad,” he asked.

The minister noted that, during the arguments, counsel for Chandrababu did not argue that Naidu was not guilty. “He said Chandrababu has nothing to do with this scam.”
