Revanth: End Beneficiary in Tapping Case Will Face Music
Deccan ChronicleHYDERABAD: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Saturday said that the law was clear that the motive behind any crime and the ultimate benefit accrued from it were of paramount importance while fixing responsibility and awarding punishment. Asked about the Anti Corruption Bureau not summoning senior bureaucrat Arvind Kumar even for questioning after HMDA official S. Balakrishna, arrested for illegal assets, confessed to having paid the former crores of rupees in cash, Revanth Reddy said, “No one found to have done wrong will be spared. Asked about keeping the Kaleshwaram pump house component executed by Megha Engineering Infrastructure Limited away from the probe despite the CAG establishing that the project cost had been jacked up, Revanth Reddy said the government would first examine the Public Accounts Committee findings on the CAG report. On the BJP’s demand for a CBI probe, Revanth Reddy shot back that Union minister G. Kishan Reddy had not taken action when he was Union minister of state for home, despite openly accusing the Rao government of tapping his phones.
