What came as a shocker yesterday that Mrs Vasundhara Devi, wife of Balakrishna was speculated to have been found with a black money of Rs.10 lakhs worth old currency notes and which later proved as accounted money.She was on her way from Hyderabad to Tirumala through Spice Jet Airlines.
When airport officials of Renigunta searched, Rs.10 lakhs were found in her bag. However, she showed IT documents to the officials and made sure that all the money kept with her was accounted money. She also made it clear that the money she was carrying with her was intended to offer to hundi of lord Balaji's temple.
We are aware that Balakrishna is a close relative of the AP CM Chandrababu Naidu. As such, no such searches were supposed to be done by the airport authorities. If it is seen in political angle CBN is currently applying dual standards on the union government. On one side, he is seen praising demonetization and has been appointed as the sub committee's chairman of demonetization. On the other side, he prompted his cabinet ministers criticizing Modi's decision of high currency notes ban and imposing tax on ornament gold. This dual strategy of CBN might have irked the union government and so was the transparency exhibited in searching the bags of Balakrishna's wife irrespective Balakrishna being close relative of CBN.
