TDP diluting Call Money racket; Misused Ambedkar name

Slamming TDP government for misusing the name of Dr BR Ambedkar for political needs to avoid discussion on the Call Money Sex racket, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has said that treasury benches have been trying to dilute the serious scandal that has rocked the State involving ruling party leaders and cadre.

Showing pictures of the three main accused persons belonging to the ruling party, the leader of opposition said: ‘ The ruling party is trying to dilute the issue by widening the canvas and carrying out state-wide raids on money lenders to deflate the intensity of the Vijayawada scandal which has the blessings of TDP government.
"While we were trying to bring up the issue for discussion yesterday, suddenly TDP, after the second adjournment remembers Dr Ambedkar and announces that there will a discussion while there is no mention of it in the day’s agenda. Though there were many historic days and dates to pay tributes to the great leader, Chandrababu Naidu and his government never remembered him nor observed the days but suddenly, when a serious discussion was to come up, TDP government tries to invoke Ambedkar’s name for political reasons though it was not there on the agenda of the day. This was how the Government has misused the name Dr. BR Ambedkar to divert the attention for its political needs and as atonement we have washed the great leader’s statue with milk earlier in the day," he said.
Among the three pictures shown at the assembly, one was that of a party functionary speaking with the DIG Intelligence in a casual manner and this could happen only if the blessings of Chandrababu Naidu are with him. The second picture belongs to a MLA with another accused in the racket." They go for a foreign jaunt and only the MLA returns. His friend’s whereabouts are not known and the MLA is not questioned,"Jagan pointed out.
The third picture is that of a loyalist who prostrates before the chief minister and becomes an MLC. His brother is named as accused in the racket but no arrests were made.
"To dilute the case and bring down the intensity, the government is conducting state-wide raids but we have to fight it out as this is a serious issue involving innocent women who were exploited by the Call Money operators from whom over 300 video tapes of explicit material was seized," he said.
