Additional Advocate General P. Sudhakar Reddy and Additional DGP (CID) N. Sanjay said in a joint press conference in Hyderabad on Thursday that the TDP government had “disregarded the objections raised by the officials on the sanction of funds to the A.P. State Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC)“ purportedly for the establishment of skill development centres, and it resulted in the large-scale siphoning of funds.
They maintained that the funds were released against norms and the relevant agreements drafted on the basis of falsified documents, and the whole exercise was not in accordance with G.O. Ms. No. 4. In some of the agreements, there was no mention of the G.O. at all, they said.
Mr. Sudhakar Reddy said the “formation of APSSDC without the Cabinet’s nod” was itself a major violation, and that the officials’ advice to roll out the larger project only after implementing it on a pilot basis in some clusters was also brushed aside.
