The interrogation of Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy by the CBI centred around the allotment of land to VANPIC (expand) project as a quid pro quo benefit for Nimmagadda Prasad for investing Rs. 350 crore in [i]Sakshi[/i] daily.[/font][/color][color=#3B3A39][font=Georgia,]
As a battery of CBI sleuths grilled Mr. Jagan on VANPIC, which has taken centre-stage in the ongoing probe after the arrests of Mr. Prasad and Excise Minister Mopidevi Venkataramana Rao, the Kadapa MP is said to have strongly defended the investments in Sakshi strictly on the ground that it was a business proposition.[/font][/color][color=#3B3A39][font=Georgia,]
While details of the interrogation are not available, Mr. Jagan said in an interview on Thursday that neither he nor Mr. Nimmagadda Prasad has committed any wrong. “What mistake did Mr. Prasad commit? There is no reason for him to be arrested by the CBI,” he said.[/font][/color][color=#3B3A39][font=Georgia,]
He contended that it was the then Congress Government that had given the VANPIC project to Ras Al Khaima (RAK) which was not a private company but a sovereign State in the United Arab Emirates.[/font][/color][color=#3B3A39][font=Georgia,]
“It was Andhra Seaports Company that had first proposed VANPIC project in 1999-2000. But, the company withdrew and the then TDP Government handed it over to the Czech Government,” he said.[/font][/color][color=#3B3A39][font=Georgia,]
