Just hours before major celebrations to commemorate its first anniversary in office, Andhra Pradesh chief minister Chandrababu Naidu is in a political impasse after the onset of recordings Telugu Desam Party entangled in a case of money by vote in which he saw a TDP legislator being arrested on Sunday.
The leak of audio tapes consisting of an alleged conversation between Naidu and nominated Anglo-Indian MLA in Telangana Assembly Elvis Stephenson fell like a bomb in the TDP and added a new twist to the vote of money
controversy in which a Telangana TDP MLA A Revanth Reddy was arrested and is being interrogated by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB).
This is the first time in the history of independent India that audio tapes of an alleged conversation of a Chief Minister over a “compromise” surfaced.
Even if the charge for the TRS TDP Government had tried to pull a fast one on Chandrababu Naidu had to believe, probably asphyxiated by the corridors of power in the neighboring state.
The timing of the leak of the audio tape in the T-News channel, backed by the family of Chief Minister Telangana KCR, angered not only the chief minister, but the entire administration. Especially at a time when Naidu was addressing a mass rally at the same place where his government was sworn to administer a “oath of affirmation” (maha sankalpa Deeksha).
Audio tapes indicate that a mediator office Naidu has called Stephenson and establish the conversation between the Chief Minister and the legislature; and Chandrababu Naidu has said the deputy who would honor the commitments made by his envoys, who had already informed. The flow of guarantees included: “Our people told me I’m with you Do Not Disturb What they all speak (I) will honor you can freely decide That is our commitment will work together……”.
Although the formation of Telangana “holidays” culminated tape filtration. T News channel which was broadcasting the Telangana formation festivities live from the historic Tank Bund, where the chief K Chandrasekhar Rao Telangana Minister and Governor ESL Narasimhan, participates, suddenly stopped and that He issued the “last minute” audio tape. As soon as the T News “broke” (or ‘filter’) the news that other TV channels Telugu collected.
Shortly after the holidays, KCR was closeted with the Governor. In fact, KCR Governor, who will be visiting New Delhi on Tuesday, twice on Sunday met in this topic.
Meanwhile, Chandrababu Naidu, who also suggested going to Delhi on Tuesday went into a huddle late on Sunday with senior officials of the police and some confidants and discussed threadbare matter what stand to take.
Media Advisory AP Government Parakala Prabhakar, who is also the husband of the Union Minister Nirmala Seetharaman, emerged from the meeting late at night and strongly condemned the way the TRS Government was trying to portray the chief minister of AP so unfortunate defaming him.
Prabhakar rubbished the content of the tapes. He said the voice on the audiotape was not to Chandrababu Naidu. He also said that the tapes were leaked by T New channel and tried to find its source. He said that “we will not be kowtowed” by these “cheap tricks”.
Prabhakar vociferously claim that the AP government was not going to take it lying down and that he would “see to an end and delve into the depths of the conspiracy” and would take all necessary measures “legally, by law, the Constitution and politically” in this problem through which the TRS government sought to tarnish the image of the chief minister of AP.
