The Enforcement Directorate, which issued summons to TPCC working president and former MLA A. Revanth Reddy and former MLA of Warangal Vem Narender Reddy, grilled them in connection to the cash-for-vote case. Narender Reddy, who was an alleged aide of Revanth Reddy, was questioned about the source of Rs. 50 lakh cash, which Revanth had offered to MLA Elvis Stevenson as part of the Rs. 5 crore deal.
Speaking to reporters after his questioning session, Narender said “they asked me about the Rs. 50 lakh that came up in the case. I wonder why the Centre has taken over the case from the state. I don’t know why they are dragging my sons into this case as they do not have any political affiliations.”
Stating that he has been cooperating with the officials, he said, we are giving them whatever information we have. The ED officials question Narender Reddy and his sons separately for over five hours. Before this, ACB had summoned Narender Reddy and questioned him about the same and his relation to Revanth Reddy, who was then with the Telugu Desam Party.
Meanwhile, ED has asked Revanth Reddy to appear for questioning on February 19th while it has asked Uday Simha to appear on February 18th. It is, however, surprising that the ED, which had stopped the investigation into the case, three years ago, has suddenly restarted its investigation in the case just before the Lok Sabha elections.
