Ramesh Kumar paid crores to judges: Srikanth Reddy

24

After YSRCP Lok Sabha member Nandigam Suresh and party leader and former MLA Amanchi Krishna Mohan, the ruling party’s chief whip Gadikota Srikanth Reddy made scandalous comments against the Andhra Pradesh High Court judges over the reinstatement of Ramesh Kumar as State Election Commissioner.

The Andhra Pradesh government chief whip attributed motives to the court stating that former chief minister and TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu had been managing the High Court.

“Who is paying crores of rupees by the hour to the judges? Is it not Chandrababu Naidu. Is it not true that the TDP had been funding Ramesh Kumar with crores of rupees to pay off judges,” he asked. The comments of the chief whip come in the wake of the HC order reinstating Ramesh Kumar as the SEC. The HC directed Ramesh Kumar to submit a memorandum to Governor Bishwabhushan Harichandan stating that the Governor has powers to reinstate him. Following which, Ramesh Kumar met the Governor and submitted a memorandum appealing to him to direct the government to reinstate him.

Obviously, miffed at the reinstatement of Ramesh Kumar, Srikanth Reddy made remarks that are contemptuous in nature. He alleged that Ramesh Kumar was bribing the judges to get the verdicts in his favour. The money was being sponsored by the TDP and its president Chandrababu Naidu.

This is not the first that the YSRCP leaders made comments that tend to undermine people’s confidence in administration of justice, bring or tend to bring the court and judges into disrepute and disrespect.

On May 20, the High Court had initiated contempt proceedings against 49 individuals, including YSR Congress Lok Sabha member Nandigam Suresh and party leader Amanchi Krishna Mohan for attributing motives to judges and lowering the dignity of the High Court. Both the YSRCP leaders made serious allegations against sitting judges of the High Court which amounts to interference with administration of justice.

At a press briefing, the Bapatla MP attributed motives to the court stating that Chandrababu Naidu was managing courts. “Chandrababu Naidu seems to know the High Court verdict 10 minutes in advance. Chandrababu’s call list should be examined to verify if he is involved in the judgement process.”

YSRCP leader and former Chirala MLA Amanchi Krishna Mohan found fault with the High Court directive to the CBI to probe the police highhandedness against Dr Sudhakar Rao. “It’s a petty case. For every petty case, a CBI investigation should not be ordered. The High Court ordering a CBI probe has surprised everyone in the state,” he said. He didn’t stop there. Fuming at the HC directive, the YSRCP leader further said people will lose faith in the courts with such directives. The YSRCP leader had remarked that he would have launched an agitation against the court directive but for the lockdown. “If every petty is handed over to the CBI, then the central government should set up a CBI office attached to all the police stations in the state,” he had stated.

    • This has nothing to do with tdp, congress or ysr congress. This about judiciary. The high Court itself made serious observations when it summoned the ysrcp mp and other party leaders in contempt case. The court remarked that such statements were a direct attack on the judiciary. Srikanth reddy played mischief. He knew what he was talking about. He referred to judges and immediately said lawyers as if he was correcting a faux paux. It wasn’t a mistake it was deliberate.

    • ఒర్ పిచ్చ నాయాల. ఎంత పెడతారు ర లాయర్స్ కి అది మాములు కేసు , మర్డర్ లు చేసి లచ్చ కోట్లు దొబ్బో తప్పించుకోడానికి వాదించే కేసు కాదు. ఢిల్లీ నుండి గంటకి 5 cr వెచ్చించే లాయర్స్ కాదు వాళ్ళు. ముందు ని జగన్ అభిమానం పక్కనపెట్టి మాట్లాడు. . ఓకే నిమ్మగడ్డ ఖర్చుపెట్టేది ఎవడి సొమ్మిన మన ( ప్రజల ) సొమ్ము కాదు. ఆఫ్ట్రాల్ జస్ట్ oka SEC కోసం గవర్నమెంట్ 8 సార్లు court ki పోద్దా కడుపుకి అన్నం తింటుందా ,పెంట ? ప్రజల సొమ్ము అంటే అంత చులకన ? అమరావతి మీద కూడా ఇలాగె 5 cr పెట్టి లాయర్ ని పెట్టింది. పెంట తినే లంజకొడుకులు , వాడికి సపోర్ట్ గ నీలాంటి బుద్ది లేని బడుద్ధాయి లి. , చి మారండిరా ? మనుషుల్లాగా. !

      • He is chief whip. Shouldn’t he know the difference between judge and lawyer. He uttered the word judges thrice. He should have immediately apologized which he did not. Shame that a chief whip doesn’t know the difference between a judge and a lawyer. Even an elementary kid would know the difference.

        • He talks much better then some of the other political leaders. If you listen to his press conference he mentions about the fees paid. In which country does Judges get paid fees? Yes, he did say Judge 3 times but he did also say fees. Well, will wait and see what courts say about his press conference.

          • That is a cheap tactic of the chief whip. He knew what he was talking about. He deliberately mentioned judges thrives and then cleverly changed it to lawyers. It is a disgrace that first they make these statements and then wait for what courts have to say about it. Why should they bring themselves to this situation. I can understand if its illiterate goons like kodali Nani. This is no justification that he speaks better than other politicians. We are talking about courts and judges. Doesnt he chief whip know what he was talking about?

      • తప్పించుకోడానికి ఇదో ఎత్తు,రోడ్ మీద తాగుబోతు వెదవలు మాట్టాడినట్టు మాట్లాడతాడా మైక్ ముందు ముండ నాయాలు. Mla న లేదా మురికికాల్వలు కడిగేవాడా !

  4. Rey blue jaffas, emi batkuku meevi, antiki venka veskoni ravadame na mee anna ni, jagun lawyers ki entha iyyana fee ivvachu vere vallu ivva kudadhu ade naa mee vadana. Inkka iyyana marandi.. Voodi payi kuda kukka laga arsthu untaru…

    • public decent? Goodness gracious. One should learn it from Kodali Nani. He has the best etiquette and social grace. Boy, with such people in jagan team one can only imagine where the Virgin state is heading. The ysrcp leaders will screw the state

      • if given a chance they will sell the state to 100 different buyers at the their price and let them fight among themselves- YSR credit default swaps pathakam!

  5. orey mental vaala laga matladakandi, Ramesh kumar ki money evarana spend cheyniyandi, Government tharapuna evari money spend chestunara, adi prajala money ne kada, waste fellows, shit…

    • Nuvu chepe statement lone logic miss avuthunavu bro. Ramesh kumar ki money evadu isthunadu anede logic ikkada. Why would govt. have to spend tax payers money if that guy has not gone to courts in the first place. Opposition is definitely helping him here because he is there person and even a small kid in AP knows how CBN uses systems for his favours.
