Amaravati : TDP says ready to prove graft in house sites scheme

Amaravati : Telugu Desam Party MLC BT Naidu on Wednesday asserted that their party was ready to prove with evidence how the ruling YSRCP leaders carried out massive corruption in the name of house sites distribution in all corners of the State.

TDP MLC said that the ruling YSRCP leaders including the Chief Minister and forty MLAs and Ministers had made lots of money in the house sites scam. In the name of land acquisition, levelling of lands and distribution, the YSRCP leaders indulged in over Rs 6,500 crore corruption till now.

Addressing a press conference here, the TDP MLC said that their party would come with all the necessary evidence, if the YSRCP leaders were ready for a debate. YSRCP MLAs Kolusu Partha Sarathy, Karumuri Nageswara Rao, Pratapa Reddy, Adeep Raju and many others indulged in unchecked corruption.

He deplored that the innocent poor families were betrayed and cheated by giving them house sites in distant lands far away from the villages. In most places, the sites were being given in uninhabitable places like the burial grounds, water bodies, low-lying lands and so on.

Stating that irregularities took place in land acquisition, the TDP leader said that the ruling party leaders made quick money by making the government buy lands worth Rs 5 lakh to Rs 10 lakh at an exorbitant cost of Rs 40 lakh to Rs 70 lakh. More serious facts would come out if the CBI investigated the house sites scam. The Jagan regime should get ready for this challenge if it had any courage to face the public, he said.
