-Vellampalli pocketed Rs 1,520 Cr funds: Venkanna
-TDP will expose Ministers’ massive frauds
AMARAVATI: TDP state general secretary Buddha Venkanna on Wednesday accused Minister for Endowments Vellampalli Srinivas of committing Rs. 1,520 Cr of frauds in temples and sand contracts in the past three years.Venkanna said their party would place before the public one by one all the Ministers’ corruption scams in the Jagan Reddy Cabinet.
Addressing a press conference here, the TDP ex-MLC said in just three years, the Chief Minister and his Ministers had amassed illegal wealth enough for three generations of their descendants. Massive frauds of Vellampalli Srinivas started in the beginning itself but no action was taken against him. He committed Rs. 300 Cr of irregularities which became exposed in the endowments department audit itself.
Venkanna criticised the Minister for ‘looting’ Rs. 240 Cr in issuing NOCs, another Rs. 120 Cr in sand scams, Rs. 30 Cr in Srisailam Devasthanam contracts and Rs. 60 Cr in TTD outsourcing. Vellampalli had encroached three acres of temple land at Jakkampudi. His brother Vellampalli Raghu has also become one of the main accused in his corruption scams. Raghu was named accused number 6 in the illegal sand mining and transportation.
The TDP leader said Jagan Mohan Reddy has lived up to his track record of committing unprecedented financial frauds in the united AP. After becoming the Chief Minister of residual AP, Jagan Reddy has selected co-robbers with a corrupt background as members of his Cabinet. They have opened the floodgates of corruption.
