Speaking to mediapersons at Gandhi Bhavan here, Ali Shabbir demanded that Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao clarify the observations made by the CAG on all the issues, “failing which it would be deemed that the government was involved in a large scale corruption.”

He also condemned the Chief Minister’s remarks against former Minister and Nagarjuna Sagar candidate K Jana Reddy, claiming that the latter supported Chandrashekhar Rao during the Telangana movement and had declined the opportunity to become the Chief Minister of erstwhile Andhra Pradesh during the peak of the Statehood movement.
