Budget worth Rs 2.94 lakh crore presented in AP Assembly
The YSRCP boycotted the Budget session in the Assembly to protest against the Speaker who did not recognise YS Jagan Mohan Reddy as the Leader of the Opposition.
Andhra Pradesh Criminal Investigation Department (APCID) has filed another case against former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, who is currently lodged in Rajahmundry Central jail on judicial remand.
He has been designated as an accused number 3 in a case of granting illegal licenses during his tenure as the Chief Minister while the then Excise Minister Kollu Ravindra is also a co-accused in the case.
The FIR was filed by D Vasudev Reddy, Commissioner, AP Beverages Corporation. This is the fifth case registered against Naidu, who is on a judicial remand for the multi crore skill development scam.
