Naidu cannot escape from law by trying to project the case of his corrupt practices into a friction between two States
Hyderabad: Politics in the capital is turning murkier by the day with leaders of different parties taunting one another on the infamous ‘cash-for-vote’ scam involving Telugu Desam Party (TDP) MLA A Revanth Reddy and others.
Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s son and State IT and Panchayat Raj Minister K Taraka Rama Rao on Monday dared Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu to face a lie-detector test in the cash-for-vote scam.
The Minister said he was ready for lie-detector test live on television but asked Naidu if he was ready for the same. Rama Rao was reacting to a report in a Telugu newspaper and a television channel that there were certain tapes which proved that he had lured the legislators of TDP and other opposition parties with money.
He said Naidu could not escape from law by trying to project the case of his corrupt practices into a friction between two States. On registration of first information reports against Telangana Chief Minister in Andhra Pradesh, Rama Rao said such cheap tactics would not save Naidu.

The minister said despite being caught red-handed while offering cash to a nominated legislator in the legislative council elections, TDP leaders were targeting Chandrashekar Rao under a conspiracy to defame him.
Rama Rao wondered why Naidu, who spoke so much about value-based politics, did not open his mouth on the arrest of his party deputy leader in Telangana Assembly Revanth Reddy in cash-for-vote episode.
On the audio tape of Naidu’s alleged telephonic conversation with nominated member Elvis Stephenson, Rama Rao said the law would take its own course. “Everybody is equal before law whether he is Prime Minister, Chief Minister or a common man,” he said.
The Minister said the Telangana government had nothing to do with the audio tape. He challenged the TDP leaders to prove that Naidu’s phone was tapped. He said the audio tape could be conversation recorded on the phones of Stephenson and Sebastian Harry, one of the accused arrested in cash-for-vote case.
Revanth Reddy was arrested by the ACB on May 31 when he was offering R 50 lakh cash to Stephenson to make him vote for TDP-BJP candidate in council elections. Sebastian and Uday Simha were also arrested in the trap laid by ACB on a complaint by Stephenson.
