TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu visited the CID offices in Vijayawada, Mangalagiri and Guntur on Saturday and submitted sureties in the cases filed against him. Naidu visited the CID office at Tadigadapa in Vijayawada and filed sureties in the free sand case.
Later, he went to the CID office in Mangalagiri and submitted the sureties in the Amaravati inner ring road alignment case. Then finally he visited the CID office in Guntur and submitted the sureties in the liquor policy case.
Naidu got anticipatory bails in the three cases from the AP high court which directed him to pay Rs 1 lakh cash as surety and signatures of two guarantors in every case.
The state government had filed the three cases against Naidu alleging that the decisions of the government have caused great loss to the state exchequer. The government also alleged that the Amaravati inner ring road alignment case had heavy corruption and Naidu helped the industrialist Lingamaneni Ramesh and saved his lands from the ring road.
It was alleged that Naidu had changed the alignment of the ring road to favour the industrialist and thus resorted to heavy corruption. The alignment was changed with the intervention of Chandrababu Naidu, his son and then minister Nara Lokesh and then Minister for Municipal Administration P Narayana.
The CID also alleged that the liquor policy had caused heavy loss to the state exchequer. The CID said that the TDP government headed by Chandrababu Naidu had given permission for liquor companies by setting aside the set norms. This caused loss to the state exchequer, the CID alleged.
The free sand policy also helped the TDP leaders to make fast buck at the cost of the state exchequer. The state government announced free sand but actually the sand was sold to the people, while a large number of TDP leaders have made money out of it.
