TD suspects massive scam in smart meters contract
Vijayawada: Telugu Desam politburo member and former minister Somireddy Chandramohan said on Wednesday that he suspected a massive scam in the award of contracts for smart meters and transformers to the Shirdi Sai Company. This involved a huge amount of ₹29,000 crore and the company is suspected to be a benami of the YSRC Kadapa MP, Avinash Reddy, he said. He said the deal was finalised at the office of the Shirdi Sai Company in Kadapa in the presence of Avinash Reddy and the chairman and managing director of the SPDCL. He urged the Centre to bail out the five crore people of the state from this “massive scam.” The TD leader alleged that though details on this smart meters contract have been sought thrice under the provisions of the RTI Act, the CMDs of the three Discoms did not respond.
