Hyderabad, Aug.1 (UNI): AICC spokesperson Dr. Dasoju Sravan today demanded that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao seek a CBI inquiry into Chikoti Praveen’s illegal activities and come clean on TRS leaders’ involvement in the Chikoti Praveen’s Casino business and other nefarious activities. Proving the close relationship of Casino mastermind Chikoti Praveen with Medak DCCB chairman Devender Reddy with pics and videos, Dr. Dasoju Sravan demanded that the Enforcement Directorate immediately raid the premises of all those TRS leaders, whose names sprang up in the infamous issue.
“It is extremely disgusting and painful that while people from all sections in Telangana are struggling with poverty, TRS leaders were enjoying in Casinos outside the nation with the money looted from the public. It has been proved without any doubt that Minister Malla Reddy is close to Chikoti Praveen and even lent his car. There are also strong allegations about Ministers Talasani Srinivas Yadav and Errabelli Dayakar Rao’s involvement in the Casino business. Now I am proving clear pictures and videos about the close relation- ship between Chikoti Praveen and Medak DCCB chairman Devender Reddy. But till now neither Home Minister Mahmood Ali nor de facto Chief Minister K Taraka Ramarao uttered not even a single word on this issue or taken any action against the TRS leaders involved in the dirty scandal. Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao should immediately seek for a CBI inquiry on the whole issue as it is tarnishing the image of Telangana State and come clean,” demanded Dasoju Sravan speaking in Hyderabad on Monday.
Sravan presented before media videos revealing the very close bonding between Chikoti Praveen and TRS leader Devender Reddy. “Medak DCCB chairman Devender Reddy is so close to Chikoti Praveen that after the issue of illegal Casinos business flared up, he had locked up a suitcase with all the important documents relating to Casinos business in a locker at Kondapaka DCCB branch in Medak district, to save the Casi- nos mastermind. Congress party has authentic information regarding this and demands Enforcement Directorate immediately raid the DCCB branch at Kondapaka. ED should also immediately raid the premises of all the TRS leaders involved in the murky issue, as they may suppress the evidence and make efforts to clean up the traces of criminal activities if the inquiry is delayed,” said Dr. Dasoju Sra- van demanding ED to immediately go after the TRS politicians involved in the murky Casinos.
Expressing severe anguish over the TRS leader’s immoral and illegal activities in the state formed through the sacrifices of students and youth, Dr. Dasoju Sravan warned KCR of severe backlash from the people of Telangana, if TRS Sarkar continues its silence on the issue. He also expressed surprise over NDA Government’s inaction on the Casino issue, though it has been hitting headlines at the national level and hurting Telangana state’s im- age. “It is painful that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Sarkar has been us- ing ED to harass Congress stalwarts Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in the National Herald case, though Gandhi’s have not done any wrong. But it is not taking any action on TRS leaders in illegal Casinos issue, though it is clear without any doubt about the political-criminal nexus between TRS leaders and Chikoti Praveen. Why are Telangana BJP leaders silent on the issue? Union Minister Kishan Reddy should immediately look into the issue and ensure that CBI and ED are given authority to take appropriate action in the illegal Casino issue and crack down on TRS leaders involved,” demanded Dr. Dasoju Sravan.
