Minister for Revenue Dharmana Prasada Rao on September 12 said that everyone was equal before the judiciary and no one, including former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, could escape from punishment if he or she was proved to be guilty in corruption and other cases.
He said that former Prime Ministers of India Indira Gandhi and P. V. Narasimha Rao also cooperated with the judiciary when they were involved in certain cases.
Speaking to The Hindu, he alleged that Telugu Desam Party (TDP) was trying to create law and order problems and instigate people with bandh calls and other agitations while forgetting the fact that Mr. Naidu was remanded in judicial custody after the Anti-Corruption Bureau court gathered sufficient evidences and submitted them to the prosecution with regard to the skill development scam.
