Hats Off To Babu's Pretense

The demonetization of Rs.500 and Rs.1000 notes announced by PM Narendra Modi is raising chaos, particularly among the political circles. Although it was said that the decision had been taken to bring out black money from hiding, it is being rumoured that some political veterans were informed beforehand about it. Chandrababu, in particular, has been speaking a lot about the big currency notes, suggesting their removal. He has also announced about a letter he wrote to PM Narendra Modi about the same. It seems to be an open secret that Venkaiah Naidu, one of the cabinet ministers who have known about the decision beforehand, has leaked it to his dear friend and AP CM Chandrababu, enabling him to exchange the money well in advance and covering it up with statements suggesting the cancellation of big currency notes and writing letters to the PM.

Per the news heard from discussions and debates happening in news channels, many 'black thieves' have taken care of their money in the last 2 to 3 months. Moreover, leaders like Chandrababu made good use of the offer given by the central government in the form of Voluntary Disclosure Scheme by making the black money white.

Chandrababu started boasting as soon as Modi's announcement was made that he was the one who had written to Narendra Modi, advising to cancel Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes. He hardly explained the reason behind introducing Rs.2000 notes.

Did he buy MLAs with the same black money?

It is notorious how Chandrababu employed Revanth Reddy to buy Telangana MLAs’ votes at the time of MLC elections and was caught red-handed on audio and video tapes. He also bought 20 MLAs in AP who had won from YSRCP, by spending Rs.20-30 crore on each of them. Where did he get all the money from? The way he chose former TDP leaders for the purchase and the way Modi announced demonetization are indicating that Babu transferred his black money into their accounts in an attempt to make it white, while attaining political gain on the other hand.

Behind the foreign trips of Nara family…

Chandrababu’s family went on a foreign tour two months ago. But there was no announcement on behalf of the Government about the tour. Even if it is a personal tour, a candidate was supposed to be employed in his place for the time. Even the TDP leaders were unaware of his location at that time. While some said he was in Goa, some others said he was in London. Others mentioned Daos and other places. Huge criticism rose about his hiding black money in other countries under the mask of foreign tours.

Foreign trips in special flights

Chandrababu went on foreign trips for 16 times in the past 2.5 years, claiming it was all for earning investments for the state of AP. But none of the countries like China, Singapore, Japan, Saos, America and London came forward to invest. Not one job has been granted in the state. Special flights were used every time. He always kept information secret, in spite of confrontation from YSRCP again and again. It is to be doubted if they were attempts to cover up hiding black money.

Is that money Babu’s?

Our state contributed Rs.10,000 crore to the Voluntary Disclosure Scheme introduced by the union Government. Babu himself made the announcement. The yellow leaders took a step forward and created rumours that the money was YS Jagan’s. When challenged about putting forward evidence and as a letter was written directly to the PM about it, Babu and his allies went speechless. They seem to have feared that the letter would make Arun Jaitley expose the details, pointing the finger to their own leader. It is clear that Chandrababu tried to blame YS Jagan in order to cover himself up. 

It has happened just as the leader of opposition predicted

Speaking at Jai Andhra Pradesh meeting, YSRCP president stated that Chandrababu knew pretty well how to change black money into white. Heritage company’s share was Rs.200 when Chandrababu became the CM of AP, but now it rose to Rs.900. While all the other dairies were in losses, only Heritage saw gains. It has not even a week since YS Jagan made these statements and here is a clear illustration for it. Chandrababu sold Heritage to Future group, whitening the black money. This is raising eyebrows. Venkaiah Naidu should have leaked the information about the demonetization to Chandrababu, who then, converted his black money into white and started writing to the PM as a pretense.
