"Incriminating Chats Involving...": Jagan Reddy On Chandrababu Naidu Case
NDTV
Chandrababu Naidu arrest: Mr Reddy claimed the former Chief Minister dismissed warnings from government officials who had advised against proceeding with the agreement and "compelled" them to move ahead.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy on Saturday accused his predecessor and Telugu Desam Party chief Chandrababu Naidu of "orchestrating and promoting" a non-existent company through a fraudulent agreement in the Rs 371 crore corruption case involving the state's skill development corporation in which he has been jailed.
"Siemens, the company in question, issued a written statement disavowing any connection to the Rs 371 crore transaction and the agreement," Mr Reddy said during a speech at Nidadavolu in the East Godavari District.
Besides the state investigative agencies, even the Government of India's investigative agency, the Enforcement Directorate (ED), caught the individuals implicated in the skill scam, which unveiled Rs 371 crore in misappropriated funds, the Chief Minister said, alleging that Chandrababu Naidu's "significant involvement in this fabricated agreement" became apparent once the investigative agencies unveiled the mastermind behind the scam along with "compelling evidence and documents".
