Hailing the state High Court for
ordering a probe against his alleged illegal assets, Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday stated that such investigations do not scare him.
Talking to media persons at Kotthavalasa in Vizianagaram district, where he is participating in a Rythu Porubata program, the TDP chief said that he would respect the court's orders and cooperate with the probing agencies in the investigation.
He alleged that Pulivendula MLA Y S Vijayamma had filed the petition in the court against his properties after the YSR Congress party failed to beat him politically, only to tarnish his image and reputation.
Stating that he had reeled out his and his family members' properties to the public, Naidu described the charges levelled by Vijayamma against him as baseless.
"I will come out clean in the investigation," he claimed.
Admitting that he had faced investigations 24 times in the past, and has been to court 18 times, Naidu said that nothing has been proved against him so far.
He also took serious exception over the court ordering a primary investigation without serving him any notice. He said that he would consult legal experts and seek their suggestions in this regard.
A division bench of the state High Court ordered the CBI, the Enforcement Directorate and Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to probe alleged illegal assets of TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu and submit a report within 3 months in a sealed cover. (INN)
