Hyderabad: Andhra
Pradesh Home Minister P. Sabitha Indra Reddy Monday night offered
to resign, hours after she was named as an accused in the
disproportionate assets case against YSR Congress party leader Y.S.
Jaganmohan Reddy by the CBI.
Sabita offered to quit during a meeting Chief Minister N. Kiran
Kumar Reddy held with her and other cabinet colleagues.
State Congress chief Botsa Satyanarayana quoted her as saying that
she has done nothing wrong but would submit the resignation as the
Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has named her an accused.
"We advised her not to resign," he told reporters after the
meeting. Sabitha is the third minister after Mopidevi Venkata
Ramana and Dharmana Prasada Rao to face charges in different
aspects of the disproportionate assets case.
Mopidevi was arrested on May 24 last year, while Dharmana
continues to be in office after his resignation was rejected by
the chief minister.
The CBI Monday filed fifth charge sheet, naming Sabitha as fourth
out of 13 accused. She figured in the charge sheet after
Jaganmohan Reddy, V. Vijay Sai Reddy and Puneet Dalmia, managing
director of Dalmia Cements.
She is charged under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and
the Prevention of Corruption Act for her role in allotment of
limestone mines to Dalmia Cements in her capacity as the minister
for mines and geology in the cabinet of then Chief Minister Y.S.
Rajasekhara Reddy, father of Jaganmohan Reddy.
