KVP link to Ramalinga Raju!

Has Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy's son and advisor K V P Ramachandra Rao anything to do with Satyam Raju episode?

Opposition parties are trying to dig out the understanding between KVP and Raju. In fact, KVP's son Ujjwal got engaged to a girl from Raju family, closely related to Ramalinga Raju. So, the Opposition parties are trying to put two and two together and allege that KVP had a share in the booty of Ramalinga Raju and was instrumental in securing crores of rupees worth projects to Maytas, owned by Ramalinga Raju's son.

Sources say the Satyam episode might strain the relationship between the Chief Minsiter's family and KVP, since the latter's out-of-the way help to Rajus has brought bad name to YSR at the time of elections.

Well, these are all speculations and it is doubtful whether YSR would have any break-up with KVP at the time of elections.

How did Raju Net???


With the fall of Satyam and the dubious foundation of its sister concern Maytas Infra in sharp focus, bureaucrats are talking in hushed tones about the roles certain IAS officers played in promoting this infrastructure company in getting prized projects, land and funds from the state government. According to the grapevine, four of them top the list. These comprise one principal secretary each from finance, industry and municipal administration departments respectively, while the fourth is an officer who was earlier posted in Huda. These officers, it is being said, worked as government representatives on the one hand, and guided the company in getting contracts on the other. In this manner, thousands of government land is said to have been released for Maytas without the issuance of a GO. Now, the question that is in everyone’s minds is: Who all will Ramalinga Raju take down with him?
