Addressing a press conference, Ganesh said, it had now come to light that Reddy owned a mining licence in Ramgad forest area.
According to the Lokayukta report, Reddy and his wife G Laxmi Aruna had bought land belonging to K M Parvatamma and her son K M Vishwanath. “Reddy should make public details about his mining business on this land.”
Charging Reddy of violating the rules to help his business, Ganesh said the minister had also misused his power. Reddy should quit owning moral responsibility or the Governor must ask the chief minister to drop him from the Cabinet, Ganesh said.
