The Jaganmohan Reddy government has finally handed over the illegal limestone mining case of TDP Ex MLA Yerapathineni Srinivasa Rao to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Till now, the CID has been investigating into this mining and transportation scam. Yerapathineni was facing charges of carrying out illegal mining in Konanki village in Piduguralla mandal and also in Kesanapalli and Nadikudi villages in Dachepalli mandal in Guntur district during TDP Rule.
YCP leaders have targetted Yerapathineni and TDP badly on the alleged mining scam case at the time of last election campaign. This is the first case to be given to the CBI after YCP came to power and gave back its General Consent to the CBI to probe cases in the state. Chandrababu Naidu Regime cancelled this General Consent prior to election following frequent raids by the CBI on TDP top leaders who included former minister P. Narayana, Sujana Chowdary and CM Ramesh.
In the Palnadu region, Yerapathineni is the next leader after Kodela Sivaprasada Rao who were attacked badly by YCP.
