Former MLA and Gajuwaka Assembly constituency MLA candidate, Palla Srinivasa Rao, demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry into the allegations against Chief Secretary, Jawahar Reddy, and his son’s involvement in buying assigned lands in north Andhra.

Addressing a press conference at the party office in city on Wednesday, Palla Srinivasa Rao demanded that Mr. Jawahar Reddy should prove his innocence. The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) said that it is atrocious to see government officials misusing their power to grab assigned lands in a region such as Bhogapuram.

Mr. Rao said that there should also be a department-level inquiry into the incident. He said that the local government officials must also give an explanation over the issue.
