TDP advises 'tainted' ministers to turn approver

Telugu Desam Party MLA Payyavula Kesav on Thursday suggested that the 'tainted' ministers, who have been served notices by the Supreme Court in connection with issuing of controversial GOs favouring YSR Congress president Jagan Mohan Reddy in accumulating wealth illegally, turn approvers.

Talking to media persons at Assembly media point, Payyavula Kesav asked the 'tainted' ministers to turn approvers and explain the reasons and name people who forced them to issue such GOs. “If the Ministers become approvers and explain the then prevailing conditions that lead to issuing of controversial GOs, the court might reduce punishment,” he pointed out.

Keshav said that Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy was afraid of initiating action against the ministers fearing of collapse of his government in the State. He demanded that the government place copies of all controversial GOs before the House for discussion.

Kesav said that the Congress party would lose confidence of people if it fails to initiate action against the corrupt ministers.
