Vijayawada (Andhra Pradesh), Oct 19 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Member of Parliament (MP) GVL Narasimha Rao on Friday demanded the resignation of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) MP CM Ramesh after his homes and offices were raided by Income Tax officials last week.
The BJP leader also slammed Ramesh for alleging that the raid was a clear-cut case of political vendetta by the BJP led government at the Centre.
"About a week ago the IT raids took place in offices and houses of TDP MP CM Ramesh. He claimed his innocence and alleged that it was a political vendetta by BJP led Centre. But, the findings proved his tax evasions and financial irregularities to the tune of Rs 100 crore," Rao said.
"Ramesh should resign as Rajya Sabha MP. We demand TDP to force him to resign. He is a member of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) as well. TDP should replace him. Otherwise, I will complain to Parliament Ethics Committee."
On October 12, IT raids were conducted at multiple locations, including the office of a company owned by the TDP MP. (ANI)
