The allegation made by the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) that a container lorry laden with currency notes went out of the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s camp office at Tadepalli on March 26 (Tuesday) sparked a political row.
While the leaders of the main opposition party demanded an inquiry by the election authorities, the ruling YSRCP leaders described it as an “unnecessary drama”.
TDP national general secretary Nara Lokesh alleged that the police did not check the vehicle that went in and out of the CM’s camp office in the last two days. He raised a suspicion that “the vehicle might have contained currency notes, files hidden by the Andhra Pradesh Secretariat or even the drugs smuggled from Brazil”.
