How am I concerned with AirAsia tapes: Ashok  

Vizianagaram: MP and former civil aviation minister P Ashok Gajapathi Raju said he had nothing to do with the audio tapes that came to light regarding issue of licences to Air Asia airlines. Speaking to media here on Wednesday, he said how can he answer the questions on the issue as they were private conversations between two individuals. “Some private persons talked over phones on some business issues .

How I am connected with that?,” he said when some reporters brought to his notice the issue of tapes being mentioned in media. He said youth should take inspiration from NTRama Rao and his personality and follow his footsteps. On Pawan Kalyan, he said the Jana Sena chief should improve his knowledge of politics before commenting on anyone.

“He should not make immature statements and comments. He should be committed for society and should behave like a responsible citizen. Staging dharna in resorts can’t yield good results and impress the public,” he said. Gajapathi Raju also described the resignations of YSRC PMs as a political drama.
