Botsa asks IAS officials to name corrupt ministers

Pradesh Congress Committee president and Transport Minister Botsa Satyanaryana on Sunday asked the IAS officials to reveal the names of ministers who are pressuring them to conduct irregularities.

Talking to media persons on the sidelines of a BC convention at Jubilee Hall, Botsa said that the IAS officials should conceal the names of ministers who were indulging in corruption or other irregularities. He said the silence of IAS officials or their tendency to conceal information was responsible for the present situation. He said the IAS officials should disclose the names of all the minister or ex-ministers who pressurised them for irregularities.

Stating that both the corrupt ministers and the officials should face the action, Botsa claimed that those indulged in corruption were living a comfortable life and questions were being raised on the credibility of the present cabinet ministers. He reiterated that the entire cabinet should be jointly held responsible for the decisions. However, he said other cabinet ministers should not be blamed for decisions that were taken at individual levels or behind the scene developments.

The PCC chief advised the IAS officials and also the ministers to approach the court if they feel that injustice was being done to them due to the on-going CBI probes. However, Botsa claimed that the present protest by the IAS officials would not affect the regular functioning of the State government.
