TDP’s Rampant Corruption Scaring Away Investors

Hyderabad: YSRCP senior leader Botsa Satyanarayana said that entrepreneurs were wary of investing in Andhra Pradesh due to the rampant corruption and the self-serving attitude of the powers that be. He said unbridled corruption and demands for kickbacks are putting off investors from coming to Andhra Pradesh.

Addressing mediapersons, he said industries would mean more jobs for the youth. But, for the TDP leaders, they mean kickbacks. As a result, industrialists and entrepreneurs are scared of coming to Andhra Pradesh, he added.

Referring to the issue of disqualification of the YSRCP MLAs who have defected to the TDP without resigning their MLA posts, he said the Speaker was changing his word every hour. "This is unprecedented. I have never seen such a situation anywhere. The Chief Minister and the Speaker of the Assembly have a great responsibility to uphold legislative ethics and conventions. How can holding of assembly sessions without disqualifying the turncoats be justified," he asked. The YSRCP would attend the assembly session if the turncoat MLAs were disqualified.

He also dared Chandrababu Naidu to prove that YS Jagan's name figured in the Paradise Papers. He said the people were waiting to teach a lesson to Chandrababu for his misrule and the astounding welcome to YS jagan's Praja Sankalpa Yatra is proof of the people's support to the YSRCP.

Chandrababu killed democracy

The monsoon session of Andhra Pradesh Assembly was began on a dull note in the absence of the main opposition YSR Congress party.  The opposition has been demanding to disqualify all the defected MLAs from the house.  The turncoats switched loyalties to ruling TDP as Chandrababu Naidu offered Rs 20 to Rs 40 crore each for quitting the YSR Congress.

Party senior leader Gadikota Srikanth Reddy already put the demand for the disqualification of defected legislators before Assembly Speaker K SIva Prasad. But no action was taken so far.  The YSR Congress made it clear that the party MLAs will not attend the assembly unless the Speaker take a decision against the those MLAs.

Srikanth Reddy also said the ruling party owed responsibility for not taking action against the turncoats. Instead, the TDP was holding Assembly session sans the opposition presence.  The YSR Congress leaders alleged that Chandrababu threw the democratic principles to the winds by not respecting the opposition demand.
