Govt. trying to pay bills illegally to some contractors, Naidu tells Governor

The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) National President N. Chandrababu Naidu wrote a letter to Governor S. Abdul Nazeer about the violation of the Model Code of Conduct in the State. 

In the letter dated May 14 (Tuesday), Mr. Naidu said that it was reliably learnt that the State government was planning to release huge amounts of funds to certain select contractors without following the first in first out (FIFO) bills clearance procedure.
