Srikrishnadevarayalu Challenges Vidadala Rajini Over Stone Crusher Case Allegations

Former minister and YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leader Vidadala Rajini is facing a case filed by the Crime Investigation Department (CID) over alleged illegal collections from a stone crusher owner. In response, Rajini accused Telugu Desam Party (TDP) MP Srikrishnadevarayalu of orchestrating false cases against her for political reasons. She alleged that attempts were made to seize her phone data as part of this effort.

Srikrishnadevarayalu countered Rajini’s allegations, denying any involvement in phone data collection. He advised Rajini to be cautious while discussing matters related to phone data and land issues. He stated that he has been running Vignan educational institutions for 40 years with a spotless record. He clarified that he had not applied for any land in Amaravati and that in 2009, under the Congress government, he had lawfully purchased land through an auction at a higher price. He urged Rajini to understand the difference between land auctions and land allocations before making statements, warning that uninformed remarks could lead to ridicule.

Srikrishnadevarayalu accused Rajini of spreading falsehoods and stated that, unlike her, he would not resort to lies. He also dismissed Rajini’s claim that illegal cases were being filed against individuals listed in the "Red Book." He cited a statement from IPS officer Joshua, whose service tenure extends until 2040, asserting that Joshua had confirmed no connection between Srikrishnadevarayalu and the owner of Balaji Stone Crushers. He reminded Rajini that it was she who had lodged a complaint on August 24, 2021, about alleged illegal activities at the stone crushers.

Srikrishnadevarayalu questioned Rajini’s conduct, asking whether it was true that she had intimidated IPS officers. He accused her of now using the "Red Book" as a distraction after being involved in illegal activities herself. He further alleged that Rajini had taken money from Potharam Basha, MPP Shankar Rao, Mutha Vasu, Gold Seenu, Abbas Khan, and Nagayya without returning it. He also questioned whether Rajini had attempted to broker a settlement to halt the case, demanding clarity on the matter.
