Demanding an apology from Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu for perpetrating a ₹371-crore skill development scam and leaving the unemployed youth in a lurch, Andhra Pradesh Agriculture Minister Kakani Govardhan Reddy has challenged the opposition party to prove, with invoices, the “so-called equipment given to the skill development centres.”
“I am ready to quit politics altogether if the TDP comes with the proof of equipment given to the skill development centres,” Mr. Govardhan Reddy asserted at a media conference here on October 1 (Sunday).
The Minister’s accusation came a day after a delegation of the TDP leaders and suspended YSR Congress Party legislator Anam Ramanarayana Reddy visited a skill development centre at an engineering college at Gudur, near here, and claimed that it had equipment worth ₹10 crore for honing the skills of the youth.
