RAJAMAHENDRAVARAM: Justifying his demand for a CBI probe into the skill development scam involving Rs 371 crore, former MP Undavalli Arun Kumar said TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu should be admitted to the local government hospital and provide AC in the room since he is facing the health issues.
He felt Naidu’s lawyers are vitiating the case with their vast legal knowledge and they should first file the bail petition in court and get the former Chief Minister released from jail.
Speaking to mediapersons here on Saturday, he said the fact will come to light only if the case is handed over to CBI.“For the very reason, as a common man, I have knocked the doors of the High Court,” he said and expressed surprise over the TDP leaders making baseless allegations against him following his PIL.“Some TDP leaders abused me during their media interaction after meeting Naidu during Mulakat. If Naidu gets relief from Section 17A of the PC Act, no CM or former CM will be prosecuted in any corruption case in future,” he opined.
He advised the TDP not to criticise the court, prisons or other departments since they follow the constitution and jail manuals.Undavalli urged the YSRC not to ridicule Naidu since he has been in jail for the past 35 days. “It is not the time to celebrate. People are watching the attitude of political parties,” he observed.The State government should provide all amenities to Naidu in jail immediately. “The people will reject the parties playing sympathy card often. The TDP should also demand a CBI probe into the case and the ED should also join the investigation,” the former MP felt.
