Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh government, which has promised corruption-free government, has decided to order fresh probe into the scams that had come to light during the previous Congress regimes, in which senior Congress leaders had faced corruption allegations.
This move of the AP government may cause problems to Congress leaders like Former APCC chief Botcha Satyanarayana, APCC president N Raghuveera Reddy, Former Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, Former Minister Dharmana Prasada Rao and YSRC leader A Ayodhya Rami Reddy, who is a close aide of YSRC chief YS Jaganmohan Reddy.
According to sources, cabinet sub-committee set up to review the controversial decisions taken by the previous Congress governments will look into the liquor scam in which the then transport minister Botcha Satyanarayana had faced allegations and also cloud seeding scam when Raghuveera Reddy was the agriculture minister in charge of the project. An amount of Rs 50 crore was alleged to have been looted from the project.
The government will also examine the red sanders smuggling activities that had taken place in Chittoor and Kadapa districts during the previous Congress regime, during which the then Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy’s brother was at the centre of allegations.
The other projects that would be put under scanner are Kannedhara Konda in Srikakulam district involving Dharmana Prasada Rao, who was the revenue minister and Nagarjuna Power Plant in Sompeta in the same district.
Besides this, land allotments and permissions given to Ramky Pharma City near Visakhapatnam, owned by Ramky group, which is facing CBI probe in the quid pro quo case of YS Jaganmohan Reddy, would also be probed.
