AMARAVATI Sep 11: Corruption is not in Chandrababu Naidu’s blood and his arrest in the alleged Skill Development is only an attempt to tarnish his image, said his son and TDP general secretary Nara Lokesh.
Lokesh said that Chandrababu was never involved in any kind of corruption. “Corruption is not in his blood,” he remarked. Pointing out that Mr Chandrababu is a national-level politician, Lokesh stated that 42 Skill Development centres were set up to impart training to 2.13 lakh youth.
The TDP leader claimed that it was Ajay Kallam Reddy, a retired IAS officer and now advisor in the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO), who granted permission for the project and asked why his name was missing from the FIR. Not even a single charge-sheet has been filed in the past two years in this case, he pointed out. (IANS)
