Cong indulging in 'political vendetta': TDP leader

Wednesday, October 18, 2006, 21:06 [IST]

Hyderabad, Oct 18 (UNI) TDP Spokesman K Sivaprasada Rao today claimed the ruling Congress was bent on 'scuttling' the voice of the Opposition by petitioning Union Home Minister Shivaraj Patil to reopen an old case against him in the wake of the adverse court verdict in the Gouru Venkat Reddy clemency case.

Unable to face the TDP 'politically', the CLP had written to the Centre to reopen the bomb blast case even after the CBI could not find anything wrong after investigating the case for over two years and examining as many as 158 witnesses, he claimed.

The case was heard by the CBI Trial Court, High Court and the Supreme Court, he said claiming he was given a ''clean chit'' by the CBI.
