Hyderabad: The Andhra Pradesh Assembly on Tuesday unanimously adopted a resolution supporting the move of the Centre to create a corruption-free India and eradicate the menace of black money.
Moving the resolution, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu said State government will take all necessary measures to create a corruption-free AP and provide full support to the Government of India to eradicate black money.
Welcoming NDA government's initiatives in this regard Naidu suggested that the Centre should usher in economic, political and administrative reforms.
"In his first Cabinet meeting itself, Prime Minister Narendra Modi constituted a Special Investigation Team on black money. Today, the Centre has written to the Swiss government seeking names of those holding bank accounts in that country. This is a decisive action by the Modi government," the Chief Minister said.
Naidu said, the previous Congress-led UPA government never acted on black money as it was steeped in corruption. Corrupt people were stashing their money in tax haven countries while poor people in India were suffering from hunger. For some money has become an object of greed and lust, he remarked.
He further said Even a nation-wide people's movement led by Anna Hazare could not move the then UPA government, he said. Besides bringing black money back, the Centre should also initiate economic, political and administrative reforms.
If required, currency notes of Rs 1000 and Rs 500 denominations should be banned. The US has already banned higher denomination currency, the Chief Minister said. Asserting that seeing a corruption-free India was the Telugu Desam Party's ultimate objective; he said they would continue the fight in this regard.
"We will bring in laws in this regard and take every step to root out corruption," Chandrababu vowed." Leader of Opposition Y S Jaganmohan Reddy also welcomed the resolution following which it was adopted by the House unanimously.
