YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has written a letter to PM Narendra Modi seeking to disclose the list of names under income declaration scheme and intiate probe against AP CM Chandrababu Naidu over his corruption.
Jagan’s letter came a day after Chandrababu indirectly sought to imply that the YSRC leader declared an income of Rs 10,000 crore under the Income Declaration Scheme. While Chandrababu wanted the Centre to “demonitise” currency notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 denomination to “curb” proliferation of parallel economy, Jagan wanted publication of “entire list of IDS-2016” and also initiate a thorough inquiry into the corruption charges against the Chief Minister.
“Out of the Rs 65,000 crore disclosed across the country, Rs 13,000 crore was declared in Hyderabad and, out of it, Rs 10,000 crore by a single individual. “Who is that, we can’t know as per law. Is it possible for a businessman to declare such huge money,” he wondered yesterday, indirectly seeking to imply it was the YSRC president. Separately, a couple of ministers and Telugu Desam legislators directly named Jagan as the one who made the Rs 10,000 crore disclosure, a charge the lone opposition party stoutly denied.
“How is that Mr Chandrababu Naidu alone is privy to this information ? If true, then the person declared should have been a ‘benami’ of Chandrababu Naidu.
Otherwise, how can he be so specific on the numbers,” the YSRC chief asked in his letter to the Prime Minister. “If this information is true, then we people of Andhra Pradesh should also be aware of this information. Hence, we request your office to kindly let us know as it is also an irony that AP under Naidu has been ranked as the most corrupt state in the country by NCAER (National Council for Applied Economic Research) just recently,” the Leader of Opposition said.
