The Telangana Telugu Desam Forum on Sunday demanded that the state government order a probe into the Polavaram tenders through a sitting judge.
Addressing a press conference at the NTR Trust Bhavan here, TTDF Convenor Errabelli Dayakar Rao said that it was established beyond doubt that several irregularities have taken place in the Polavaram tenders.
Therefore, the state government should cancel all the tenders and order a comprehensive probe through a sitting judge into the issue, he said.
He added that a TDP delegation would meet Governor E S L Narasimhan on November 8 seeking his intervention into the issue.
Errabelli alleged that the Telangana Rashtra Samithi leaders have mortgaged the Sakala Janula Samme, the employees' general strike, in order to reap benefits out of the Polavaram issue.
He said that the general strike was withdrawn after the TRS leaders brokered a deal with the Centre for getting some contracts allotted on their 'benamis'.
The TDP leader also questioned the TRS MLAs' meeting with Panchayat Raj Minister K Jana Reddy, who was dubbed as "Telangana Drohi" (betrayer of Telangana) earlier.
He also criticised the TRS for not extending support to the week-long fast launched by freedom fighter Konda Laxman Bapuji at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi demanding separate statehood for Telangana.
Meanwhile, Errabelli informed that the TDP leaders from the Telangana region would meet Bapuji in New Delhi on Monday to request him to withdraw the fast in view of his deteriorating health condition. (INN)
