The Andhra Pradesh unit of Telugu Desam Party has escalated its efforts to trouble the Telangana CM KCR. Close on the heels of reports that the Telangana ACB might serve notices to AP CM Chandrababu Naidu, AP CID has reportedly asked for call data records of the complainant Mr Jerusalem Mattaiah who lodged complaint that he’s getting threatening calls. Thus, if Telangana serves a notice in the cash-for-vote case, AP too, will serve a notice in the CID case.
Meanwhile, AP government has fastened the process of investigation of 87 FIRS filed against KCR. The govt. of AP decided to form a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the cases lodged against KCR in connection with the phone-tapping of AP leaders and government officials. The latest reports have it that the SIT might also interrogate AP’s leader of Opposition YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and ACB DG A.K. Khan and others in the case.
Corroborating the same, AP’s Agriculture Minister Prathipati Pulla Rao said, “In all, 87 cases have been registered against Mr Rao in AP. A Special Investigating Team will soon probe all these cases. He was charged with whipping up passions and fomenting trouble among various sections of people. We have decided to form a SIT in view of the gravity of the cases.” Prathipati added that the terms and conditions will be made public soon.
