Naidu, Lokesh Behind Vizag Scam?

Naidu, Lokesh Behind Vizag Scam?

The YSR Congress party suspects that the multi-thousand crore land scam in Visakhapatnam involves several political bigwigs from the ruling party with the support of none other than Telugu Desam Party president and chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu and his son Nara Lokesh.

Describing the investigation by Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Andhra Pradesh police into the Vizag scam as an eyewash, YSR Congress party spokesman and former minister Botsa Satyanarayana demanded a CBI probe into the multi-crore land scam.

He said the party would continue its fight against the land mafia and intensify the agitation by organising a Maha Dharna to mobilise public opinion against the Government which is indifferent towards the issue.

He said a state-level agency cannot bring out the true facts on the multi-crore scam as Ministers, MLAs, ruling party leaders, their kin along with officials are involved in the scam with the blessings of party leadership.

“We have raised the issue and will intensify the agitation as the land records are being manipulated and people in power are grabbing large extent of land in nearly 32 villages and the surrounding mandals of Gopalapatnam, Madhurawada, Bhimili, Gajuwaka and other peripheries,” he said.

The Collector himself has agreed that some records had gone missing and the state has said that 300 acres of land was grabbed and ordered a SIT to probe into the irregularities.

However, the extent of land runs into  a much larger number and nearly 40 Registers had just vanished from the Revenue Department, he said.
