Vijayawada: Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu said on Sunday that BJP national president Amit Shah should clarify the corruption allegations made against his son Jay Shah before pointing fingers at the Telugu Desam.
The letter from Mr Shah has only served to intensify the TD's attacks against the BJP.
Mr Naidu alleged that the Central government under the leadership of Narendra Modi had collapsed entire systems across the nation. He suggested that the BJP introspects on their own corrupt practices before they point at the TD.
He said the Centre dealt differently with YSR Congress MP Vijay Sai Reddy, though an economic offender.
Stating that Mr Vijaysai Reddy is being sheltered in the PMO, he asked why wasn’t his Rajya Sabha membership not cancelled yet.
Mr Naidu expressed agony over the Centre denying funds despite assurance, but after four years is asking for a SPV to be established which is problematic to FRBM. He said he has no alternative but to resort to protests.
Mr Naidu also denounced Mr Shah for clai-ming that the state government had not submitted UCs (utilisation certificates) for all the funds it has received, when the state government had clearly said it had given all UCs.
UCs were submitted for Rs 940 crore out of the Rs 1,050 crore received for backward districts, he said and mentioned submitting UCs for Rs 350 crore towards underground drainage works.
