Babu seeks help in fighting Centre on 2G

Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday held discussions with leaders of Left parties, Janata Dal (S), Rashtriya Janata Dal, Anna DMK in New Delhi and sought their support to corner the Congress-led UPA government over the 2G spectrum scam. 

Continuing his tirade against the ruling party which he had started at the time the CAG report came out, the former chief minister on Tuesday demanded Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into the scam.

He said the UPA government has lost the moral right to continue in office at the Centre. 

Mr Naidu alleged that extent of corruption during the UPA government’s reign has risen to levels never witnessed in the past.

Holding AICC president Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh responsible for the scam, Mr Naidu asked Dr Singh to submit his resignation. The TDP chief also demanded that the government order probes into Adarsh Housing scam, Commonwealth games and illegal mining.

He said all opposition parties should mount pressure on the Centre to order a JPC probe on the 2G spectrum issue. Mr Naidu also discussed the strategy to be adopted on dealing with like-minded parties over 2G spectrum scam issue.
