Communist Party of India state secretary K Narayana on Monday demanded that YSR Congress president YS Jaganmohan Reddy reveal the names of the Ministers who were involved in the decision making during the rule of his father and former chief minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy.
Talking to media persons at party office Makhdoom Bhavan, Mr Narayana demanded that the Kadapa MP reveal the names of those Ministers who were involved in the decision making process during YSR’s rule and also back his allegations against these unnamed Ministers with substantial proof. Mr Narayana was responding to Mr Jaganmohan Reddy attempting to pin the blame of the dubious land allotments by the Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation to the Emaar Group as a collective decision by the YSR Cabinet. Besides this, Mr Jaganmohan Reddy had defended his phenomenal growth in wealth to his business acumen and said that YSR’s Cabinet had taken collective decisions and all the Cabinet members should be held responsible. “It is the responsibility of Mr Jaganmohan Reddy to disclose the names of those Cabinet ministers, who are involved in taking decisions,” Mr Narayana said. Besides this, the Cpi leader also held former chief minister K Rosaiah responsible for the explosive situation in the state, by saying that it could have been controlled if a resolution had been introduced in the Assembly on Telangana state formation. “The situation would not have reached such a volatile stage if Mr Rosaiah had introduced a resolution on separate Telangana at that time,” he stated. Mr Narayana added that Mr Rosaiah should be held responsible for political uncertainty in the state. He warned the government of serious consequences if it invokes the Essential Services Maintenance Act on the agitating Telangana employees. Mr Narayana also revealed that the Cpi plans an anti-graft 24-hour deeksha to be held at a later date at Indira Park. He said that Cpi activists would stage an agitation across the state against rampant corruption.
