'Obulapuram scam is an output of power misuse by public servants. May be they have done this under pressure from late CM YS Rajasekhara Reddy', Sabita Indra Reddy stated in her witness statement. She is standing as an 8th witness in the case which is being investigated by CBI, as she is the Minister of mines at the scam time. She says that Mines secretary Srilakshmi, IAS, has forced her many times to sign extended mine leasing agreements but she had rejected them.
One thing is clear, Sabitha, a favorite of YSR wants to come clear out of this entire episode accusing officers and YSR, feels a YSR Congress leader. On the other hand, YSR's name is flying high in all the present scams getting dug by the investigating agency. CBI has already nailed Mining tycoon Gali Janardhan Reddy, director Rajgopal IAS and another IAS, Srilakshmi pertaining to OMC case. They are going to file charge sheet about the same within next few days, says a source.
