Speaking to ANI, Yadav said: “The four MPs were close to Chandra Babu Naidu and knew about each and everything, including his financial and political condition. During Naidu’s tenure, huge corruption took place and knowing that the incumbent government will conduct an inquiry and all his ill-deeds would come to the fore, he asked them to join BJP.” The minister accused Naidu of not commenting on the issue. “When I had quit the party in 2014, he took the matter to the Supreme Court. He comments on each and every issue, but did not give comments when his party leader quit this time”, he said.
