Hyderabad, June 09: TS Telugu Desam leaders on Thursday stepped up their attack on the state government in connection with the Miyapur land scam, asking Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao why the name of Goldstone Prasad, the alleged kingpin of the scam, was not included in the FIR lodged by the police.
Speaking at a press meet on Thursday, Telangana TDP President L Ramana criticized Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao's three-year governance alleging that the land scams have increased to multifold under the TRS rule.
He also alleged that KCR is ignoring so many land scams that are surfacing one after the other in the state.
TS TD president L. Ramana, working president A. Revanth Reddy and other leaders addressed a media conference in Hyderabad and accused the Chief Minister, Governor and the Chief Secretary who holds the additional responsibilities of the Chief Commissioner Land Administration, of shielding the main culprit Prasad.
They said that this was the reason the government was not taking any follow-up action like taking steps to protect the lands or and following up the investigation in the case, the TD leaders charged.
They said despite several requests, Chief Secretary S.P. Singh did not meet them to receive their representation and did not bother to initiate any action on the representations filed with his office so far.
Revanth Reddy said TD delegation would meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the CBI director with a request to entrust the investigation to CBI to unearth the real persons involved in the Rs 15,000 crore land scam in Miyapur.
The TD leaders said that the arrested accused — P.S. Parthasarathy, P.V.S. Sarma and Srinivasa Rao – have already filed a petition in the Supreme Court but it is strange that state government did not bother to engage a senior lawyer or advocate-general to argue the case.
"Instead, it appointed a small-time lawyer to defend the government which only indicates that the government is not serious about pursuing the investigation," Mr. Revanth Reddy said.
