- YSRCP MLA A Ramakrishna Reddy says the apex court observation should be an eye-opener to the CM
Expressing surprise at the difference of bidding price of Sadavarthi lands, he wondered how could there be Rs 40 crore difference in the two auctions.
The AP Government sought an adjournment in the case as the second highest bidder had been given a deadline till Saturday as the first highest bidder withdrew from the proceedings. The Bench also refused to admit the impleadment of Tamil Nadu Government.
Later speaking to the media, YSRCP MLA, A Ramakrishna Reddy, the petitioner in the case, said the observation of the apex court should be an eye-opener to Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu. The second auction could ensure that the lands could secure nearly three times of the earlier auction. The apex court could see through the game of the TDP government and hence commented thus, he added.
The government should have the Cabinet approval for the auction of such properties and yet it turned a Nelson's eye to the same. In fact, the lands could have been sold for a higher bidding, but leaders and TDP Ministers were stay put in Chennai to threaten competitive bidders throughout the process so that the lands would not go out of their hands.
IT Minister Nara Lokesh had gone ahead and threatened him with IT raids if he were to proceed with his case, the MLA said. He said the lands belonged to Brahmins and the party would fight for restoration of lands to the latter at any cost.
