Note-for-vote scam
Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister N Chinarajappa on Friday dared the Telangana government to book Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu in the cash-for-vote scam. Chinarajappa also challenged Telangana Home Minister N Narasimha Reddy to make public the audio tapes of Naidu's alleged conversation with the nominated legislator of Telangana.
He told reporters in Rajahmundry that they would complain to the Centre about the phone tapping by the TRS government in Hyderabad, the common capital of the two states. TDP legislator A Revanth Reddy was arrested by the ACB on May 31 in Hyderabad when he was allegedly offering Rs 50 lakh bribe to nominated legislator Elvis Stephenson to make him vote for the TDP-BJP candidate in the Telangana legislative council elections.
Naini has earlier claimed that the police have evidence that Naidu also spoke to Stephenson. Chinnarajappa wanted to know why Stephenson was not arrested while Revanth Reddy was booked and taken into custody. He said with 63 legislators, the TRS was in a position to win three or four seats in the council but it secured five seats as the party polled 20 more votes. He demanded a probe into the additional votes polled by TRS candidates.
