Nani got Rs 30 Cr to quit TDP, alleges Umamaheshwara Rao

Telugu Desam Party's Krishna district president Devineni Umamaheswara Rao on Monday alleged that suspended Telugu Desam Gudivada MLA Kodali Nani accepted a bribe of Rs 30 crore offered by YSR Congress president Jaganmohan Reddy.

Talking to media persons at Ntr Trust Bhavan after attending a meeting convened by party president N Chandrababu Naidu with the Krishna district leaders, Umamaheswara Rao charged that Kodali Nani colluded with Jagan and back-stabbed TDP to get monetary benefits. Stating that the people of the constituency would not forgive Nani for his act, he said that they would teach him a fitting lesson at an appropriate time.    

Umameheshwara Rao demanded that the party bar those, who indulge in anti-party activities for five years from the elections. At a time when the party is fighting against corruption, he said that Kodali Nani joined hands with "corrupt" Jaganmohan Reddy which would send a wrong message among people.
