Hailing the clean chit given to him by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in a case related to missing files from a courtroom in Nellore reported in April 2022, Minister for Agriculture Kakani Govardhan Reddy dared Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president seek a CBI probe in the criminal cases against him.
Addressing the media here on February 4 (Sunday), Mr. Govardhan Reddy said that Mr. Naidu, along with TDP Polit Bureau member Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy had been resorted to mudslinging, accusing him of committing theft of the files from the courtroom. “Now that the CBI has given a clean chit to me, Mr. Naidu has lost credibility among the people again,” said the Minister.
“After the Andhra Pradesh High Court took suo motu cognisance of the missing files case, notices were served on me along with several others. Then I clarified that I was ready for the CBI inquiry if the court had no objection to it,” said Mr. Govardhan Reddy.
