Congress To File PIL On Revanth Reddy Scam: Diggy

Former Union minister and AICC General Secretary Digvijay Singh today said that his party, the Congress, would file a PIL in the Revanth Reddy note-for-vote case in which Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's role was proved.

Both the Chief Ministers - Chandrababu Naidu and K Chandrashekar Rao - were involved in the case, which should be investigated by the CBI to bring out the truth, he said.

The AICC leader paid floral tributes to former Prime Minister late P V Narsimha Rao on his 94th birth anniversary at Gandhi Bhavan on Sunday.

Later, talking to mediapersons, the Congress leader, while seeking a CBI inquiry into the scam, also flayed Naidu for raking up Section 8, and his Telangana counterpart K Chandrashekar Rao for not opposing in Parliament when the related bill was getting passed.

The AICC leader felt that there was no need of making a hue and cry over imposing Section 8 in Hyderabad as of now.

Though the two CMs were good politicians, they were both involved in the scam, he charged.

He opined that the judiciary would take steps to address the scam and take the issue to a logical end.

He also said that Naidu's complaint of his phone being tapped was tantamount to him accepting his crime. (NSS)
