Visakhapatnam: YSRCP Narsipatnam MLA Uma Shankar Ganesh came down heavily on the former minister and TDP leader Ch. Ayyanapatrudu for making derogatory comments against Chief Minister Y.S Jagan Mohan Reddy and said the latter has been venting out his frustration due to lack of power.
The MLA said Ayyanapatrudu was popular as the "minister for marijuana business" in the former government and that his comments might be meant for Opposition leader and TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu.
The MLA said Mr. Naidu who lost the elections and was involved in corruption should be ashamed of his acts and tender his resignation. He said the former Chief Minister and TDP leaders should be ashamed for pressing false charges against Jagan and spreading false propaganda against him for the last 10 years.
Mr. Ganesh said Ayyanapatrudu and Naidu's comments made it clear that the Rs. 241 crore scam in the skill development department had happened and added that the most important thing is not who signed the papers but who took the money. He said that's the reason Ayyanapatrudu has been making unnecessary remarks.
