It sounds like a joke when you accuse us: TDP to Reddy

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) general secretary Nara Lokesh on Tuesday took a pot shot at Yuvajana Shramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) chief YS Jaganmohan Reddy for accusing TDP of stealing Rs 34,000 crore in the excavation work of various projects during its four-year in power.

"A1, it sounds like a joke when you accuse us of exploiting Andhra Pradesh's natural resources. Simple question, 'Have you left any resources in the state?' You had sand, minerals, bauxite, limestone, for 'breakfast, lunch and dinner'. Please refer the 'menu' on the 13 charge sheets to find out," Lokesh tweeted referring to Reddy's money laundering case.

While addressing a public meeting in Nidadavolu in West Godavari district as part of the 'Praja sankalpa yatra', Reddy said TDP leaders stole Rs 34,000 crore in the excavation work of various projects in its four-year rule.

He added that the people of West Godavari had given full support to the TDP by electing all its 15 candidates, but the latter had done nothing for them.
