HYDERABAD: Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s son and a state minister K Tarakarama Rao on Monday dared Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu to face a live lie-detector test in the cash-for-vote scandal.
The panchayat raj and information technology minister on Monday said he was ready for lie-detector test live on television, but asked Naidu if he was ready for the same.
KTR, as the minister is popularly known, was reacting to a report in a Telugu newspaper and a television channel that there are certain tapes which prove that he lured the legislators of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and other opposition parties to the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) with money.
He said Naidu can’t escape from law by trying to project the case of his corrupt practices into a friction between two states. On registration of first information reports against Telangana chief minister in Andhra Pradesh, KTR said such cheap tactics would not save Naidu.
The minister said despite being caught red-handed while offering cash to a nominated legislator in the legislative council elections, TDP leaders were targeting Chandrasekhar Rao under a conspiracy to defame.
