ACB Notices Will Bend Naidu, Section 8 Ghastly: TRS

Upping the ante against Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu for portraying a law and order problem in Hyderabad, Telangana ministers Talasani Srinivas Yadav and Tummala Nageshwar Rao today lashed out at the former saying that he would soon receive notices on his involvement in the Revanth Reddy note-for-vote case.

They slammed Naidu for trying to rake up Section 8 of the AP Reorganization Act solely with an intention to escape from the noose of the bribery scam. The TDP was adopting unethical practices only to belittle democracy, they deplored.

Addressing separate media conferences at Secretariat on Tuesday, they said that the ACB would slap a notice on Naidu as soon as the forensic lab furnished its report on the purported audio tapes of Naidu's voice, and that the notice would bend the neck of Naidu to face the case.

"We have respect for the law and the judiciary, and the law will take its own course," they added.

Dubbing Naidu and Revanth Reddy as a team in the note-for-vote scam, they said that the Telangana government was not afraid of Naidu's rhetoric on Section 8.

Just for the sake of dirty politics, Naidu was resorting to unholy skirmishes with TRS government, they said.

"Chandrababu is deliberately provoking the people as a cunning nature is in his blood," they reviled Naidu.

Meanwhile, Supreme Court judge Justice Chalameshwar called on Governor E S L Narasimhan on Monday and is said to have spoken on the note-for-vote scam and the ACB's preparedness to issue notices to Naidu, it is learnt. (NSS)
