The Supreme Court has directed the ACB court to solve the vote for note case related to AP CM in a months time. Earlier the High court has directed that the case should be solved in 8 weeks time.
The issue was raised by YSRCP MLA Ramakrishna Reddy the court was dilly dallying the case and sought a direction from the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court said that since the matter was in the Hight Court it would not interefere with the case. Instead it gave the court 4 weeks time to resolve the matter.
In reality Chandrababu Naidu could neither rule out that it was his voice that was recorded in the audiotapes that “were put out” in a TV interview with Rajdeep Sardesai of India Today. His incoherent responses to Pallavi Ghosh in an interview to CNN-IBN too laid bare the weak-kneed approach of the TDP.
Chandrababu Naidu on the other hand said that the law will take its onw course and also opined that there was no case at all. Earlier Chandrababu Naidu said that the telephones of 125 important people in Andhra Pradesh were “illegally tapped” by the Telangana government. He also had to cling on to the argument that his voice was superimposed on the tapes by an act of “cut-copy-paste”.
The slew of 80-odd cases filed against KCR across different places in Andhra Pradesh, charging him with telephone tapping, is now being seen as a bid by the TDP government to create an inter-state legal wrangle and “divert the attention” of the country from the cash for vote case.
The constitution of Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe these cases; and the complaint filed by one of the accused persons in the cash for vote case Jerusalem Mathaiah accusing the top-brass of the TRS of threatening him with dire consequences laid bare the TDP’s counter-offensive efforts and its tottering stand over the grounds of moral turpitude on which the Telangana government attacked it.
However there is a wide spread opinion that the TS CM KCR is not so serious about this issue as he was earlier.
