TDP Politburo member Varla Ramaiah welcomed the stay order issued by the High Court of Andhra Pradesh on the CID probe into the case relating to alleged irregularities committed by former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and former minister P. Narayana.
Mr. Ramaiah asserted that the court stayed the CID probe just because the ‘concocted case’ was filed against Mr. Naidu without having any prima facie evidence. It was pathetic that the additional advocate general had no convincing answers when the judge asked whether the CID found any strong evidence in preliminary investigation or whether the assignment farmers suffered any losses under the Amaravati land pooling.
Addressing a press conference here, the TDP leader said that the court’s stay order once again clarified how the Jagan regime was bent on filing motivated cases in order to take revenge against Mr. Chandababu Naidu. Even the judge asked how the case was booked when no assignment farmer had filed any complain and not even the CRDA. Moreover, the farmers were paid compensation under the land pooling agreement.
Mr. Ramaiah advised the YCP ministers not to make funny statements like why Chandrababu Naidu has got court stay instead of facing the CID probe to come clean on the allegations. If that was the ruling YCP stand, then CM Jagan Reddy should have stayed back in the Chanchalguda jail without taking bail in the Rs. 43,000 Cr illegal assets cases probed by the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Enforcement Directorate.
The TDP leader wondered how the Jagan regime could foolishly file such cheap and meaningless cases against Mr. Chandrababu Naidu who had served as CM for over 14 years and against P. Narayana who had served as Minister for five years.
