Roja Accuses Naidu of Involvement in Four Scams:
Tourism Minister R.K. Roja accused N. Chandrababu Naidu of being implicated in multiple scams and alleged the involvement of his wife, Bhuvaneswari, and daughter-in-law, Brahmani, in concealing stolen money.
Roja claimed that Nara Lokesh, whom she referred to as a “small thief,” was attempting to save the “big thief,” Telugu Desam chief Chandrababu Naidu, by visiting the national capital, Delhi. She pointed out that the father-son duo had never met the President in the past to promote the welfare of Andhra Pradesh or its people.
Speaking to the media on the Assembly premises, She questioned how Lokesh and other Telugu Desam leaders could act as if Naidu were above the law. She emphasized that Naidu had allegedly plundered the state’s wealth, and the law would take its course.
Roja listed four scams in which Naidu was accused: the skill development scam, Inner Ring road alignment scam, Fibrenet scam, and Assigned land scam. She also noted that Lokesh himself faced accusations in the Amaravati inner ring road alignment scam. Roja suggested that Lokesh was hesitant to return to Andhra Pradesh due to the fear of arrest.
Regarding a recent claim by Nara Bhuvaneswari that selling 2 percent of their business shares would yield ₹400 crore, Roja called for a deep investigation by the CID into this assertion and subsequent action. She highlighted the significant increase in Naidu’s assets, which were allegedly worth ₹2 lakh crore based on his wife’s statement, compared to his initial 2 acres of land when he entered politics.
Roja asserted that the funds allegedly misappropriated by Naidu and Lokesh were effectively managed by Bhuvaneswari and Brahmini. She criticized their attempts to portray themselves as innocent to the public.
