Since the people are aware that former chief minister and TDP supremo Nara Chandrababu Naidu had not committed any mistake in the Skill Development case, the public turned out like a tsunami, observed Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), Payyavula Kesav, on Thursday.
Except making false allegations with untruths and half-truths on the Skill Development case, the Jagan Mohan Reddy Government could not prove in 52 days that Chandrababu Naidu received even a 50 paise, Kesav told media persons.
The PAC Chairman is of the opinion that the day is not too far that the courts will reject the fake chargesheets and the FIRs registered against Chandrababu as all of them were the creations only to make him a victim to the political conspiracies.
Observing that since beginning the TDP has been saying that there was no money trail in the Skill Development case, Kesav felt that this is going to be turned out to be true. The State Government, the Chief Minister, his Ministerial colleagues, CID chief, Sanjay, and Additional Advocate General, Ponnavolu Sudhakar Reddy, should go through the details in the agreement entered into with the Siemens Industry Software by the Shipping Corporation of the Union Government by five States, including Gujarat, Kesav maintained.
The TDP has made a point in its manifesto in 2014 that employment will be generated for the youth, he said and stated that the Skill Development Corporation was formed by Chandrababu Naidu as the chief minister only to implement this promise. Chandrababu later focussed on its implementation and achieved tremendous results at the grassroot level, Kesav noted.
The PAC Chairman strongly believes that leaving the officials concerned in the Skill Development case and blaming Chandrababu alone as if he has done everything is nothing but a political vendetta of Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy. “Once the judiciary starts hearing the details of the case, I am sure they will throw out the FIRs and the chargesheets created by this Government,” Kesav remarked.
Did Chandrababu mount pressure on the officials to sign the relevant file on the Skill Development and also release the funds immediately, he asked. He only signed the file to set up the board of directors and other committees and later signed another file approving these appointments, he pointed out.
GMR Group Chairman, Grandhi Mallikharjuna Rao, is the chairman of this board and another person, Sreeni Raju, was given a key role in it, he pointed out. With regard to senior officer, Sunitha, she initially said that the funds did not get the approval but later signed with small letters that ‘Seen the old file’. This is her awareness on the matter, Kesav maintained.
Since the whole process was done in a totally transparent way, the court will certainly reject the appeal of the State Government, Kesav observed.
