Cash for vote scam: Jerusalem Mattaiah seeks probe on MLAs
Hyderabad: Jerusalem Mattaiah, one of the key accused in the cash-for-vote scam that rocked both Telugu states two years ago, demanded an inquiry on all those involved in the scam. He also demanded an inquiry on call data records of all MLAs who sought votes.
While thanking Chief Minister K Chandrase-khar Rao for ‘re-opening’ the case, he demanded a CBI inquiry into it. “There was a conspiracy behind the scene to drag me into the case, while freeing Jimmy Babu from the case. The TD MLAs could have purchased many other MLAs including nominated MLA Stephenson. The details of calls made by all TD MLAs should be made public,” he said.
He also expressed doubts that all TDP MLAs who defected into the TRS party were lured and details of MLAs who were lured should be made public, demanded Mattaiah.
