Telugu Desam Party (TDP) State president K. Atchannaidu released a factbook on the FiberNet project on October 8 (Sunday), and said that the allegations of a scam in it were baseless and politically motivated.
Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Chairman Payyavula Keshav, MLCs Panchumarthi Anuradha and P. Ashok Babu, former Ministers Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy and Peethala Sujatha, and former MLAs Bonda Umamaheswara Rao and Dhulipalla Narendra Kumar were present.
Mr. Atchannaidu said the Terasoft consortium had begun implementing the project after it was duly evaluated by a high-power committee, and the study included a thorough legal scrutiny.
