Narayana wants Gali Janardhan, TTD member arrested

Hyderabad, Dec.8: CPI national secretary Dr. K Narayana has demanded that the Centre order arrest of mining baron Gali Janardhan Reddy and file criminal cases based on his car driver Ramesh’s death note. He also demanded the Andhra Pradesh state government to arrest Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) Board member Shekar Reddy immediately. He said in a statement released on Thursday that Shekar Reddy brought a blot to the sacred Tirumala Temple involving serious irregularities. He asked the Andhra Pradesh government to conduct a review meeting on the TTD Board executive committee and protect the sanctity of the Tirumala by not appointing members like Shekar Reddy in future. Recalling the IT raids on Shekar Reddy’s houses and offices and his economical crimes found in the raids, Narayana urged the Andhra Pradesh state government not appoint such persons as members of the TTD Board executive committee in future at any cost.
