Former minister Dr. P Shankar Rao on Tuesday demanded a CBI probe into the assets of former minister J C Diwakar Reddy.
Speaking to media persons at the Congress Legislature Party office here, Shankar Rao alleged that Diwakar Redddy had accumulated wealth worth crores of rupees, through illegal means.
He said that the government should order a CBI probe into JC's assets.
Else, he said that he would approach the High Court to do the same.
Asking Diwakar Reddy to tender an unconditional apology to Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Shankar Rao said that people of Tadipatri would teach him a fitting lesson in the next elections.
Giving a "caste-twist" to JC's remarks, he said the Congress party and Nehru-Gandhi family enjoys the support of 29% minorities in the country, and that the party isn't dependent on the support of Reddys alone. (INN)
