The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) on Thursday demanded a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the purchase of electric transformers allegedly at an inflated cost by the Jagan Mohan Reddy government.
Addressing the media, TDP Polit Bureau member Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy said the party would wage a legal battle to expose the ‘‘massive scam’‘ in the purchase of electric transformers. “The DISCOMs had suffered huge losses and power consumers were forced to bear the brunt of hefty hikes in power tariff in the form of true-up charges, fixed charges etc.,“ he alleged.
