Hyderabad: The TDP on Wednesday demanded the Andhra Pradesh Governor to dismiss state minister J. Geeta Reddy from the cabinet in the wake of CBI chargesheeting her in the Jaganmohan Reddy illegal assets case.
The CBI on Tuesday named Geeta Reddy who held the portfolio of major industries minister in the late Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy cabinet as Accused Number 9 in a case related to the Lepakshi Knowledge Hub, as part of an alleged quid pro quo deal with Jagan.
A delegation of TDP MLCs and MLAs, led by deputy leader Motkupalli Narasimhulu, met Governor E S.L. Narasimhan at the Raj Bhavan this evening and submitted a memorandum requesting Geeta Reddy's dismissal from the AP cabinet.
"We request you to direct Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy to remove Geeta Reddy from the cabinet. If the Chief Minister doesn't abide by your direction, we request you to dismiss her from the cabinet," the TDP said.
The TDP delegation recalled its earlier representation submitted to the Governor in March seeking dismissal of all "tainted ministers" connected with the Jagan case.
"We regret to inform that no steps were taken in this regard. This is not in the best interests of good governance and would only embolden the administrative machinery to get involved in criminal cases affecting the larger interest of the public," the TDP delegation said.
Geeta, the state major industries minister, is the fourth minister of in the Congress-led Kiran Kumar Reddy government to be chargesheeted by the CBI in connection with the Jagans illegal assets case.
