During my tenure, I asked E. Shreedharan of the Delhi Metro to prepare a feasibility report for the Hyderabad Metro, which he did. But this CM violated all norms when he gave the project to Maytas. After the Satyam scam, I sought a CBI inquiry. There is a clear collusion between the government and Satyam.

This is case study for all of you to look at. Projects worth Rs 40,000 crore and over 6,000 acres of land were given to Maytas. Previously, Raju was only into IT but YSR tempted him into other things. And then Raju got greedy and acquired land under benami names. Even after the Satyam scandal broke out, the CM gave a road project in Cuddapah worth Rs 120 crore to Maytas. When I took him on in the Assembly, the CM said, “That is my will”. I told him this is not your money, it is the tax payers’ money. You are only a trustee. But he went ahead and without waiting for Cabinet approval, nominated them for the work. We went to the High Court and the court has given a stay order.

•Maneesh Chibber: YSR said on television that all your allegations are false, especially your charge that his son’s company has accumulated a lot of wealth.

An accused always tries to defend himself, it is up to us to catch him. These documents show that YSR had declared an income of Rs 41 lakh in 2003-04. How did he acquire all these companies, then? I asked him who was behind the Mauritian company. He refused to reveal the name and adjourned the House. The Opposition again asked him the same question. He did not give the name. Fourteen companies in West Bengal—all private limited companies and two public limited companies—are being investigated by SEBI for malpractices.
