00:00In the YCB government, that party's elders, Gannudasekha's predecessor Sanchalakudu Venkateddy,
00:09who was a barrier to the main leaders, also became his wife.
00:11The fact that the surveyors were removed from China for cutting them to a lesser extent,
00:15and for stealing crores of rupees, has come to light.
00:20The YCB, which recognized this, has started tenders,
00:22and has decided on who has played which role.
00:27It is investigating the officials who worked at that time.
00:30As part of the land re-survey undertaken by the previous government,
00:33the responsibility of the surveyors was handed over to AP Kanija Veridhi Samstha, AP MDC.
00:38At that time, Venkateddy was appointed as AP MDC MD as Gannudasekha Sanchalakudu.
00:43The granite cutting and polishing units had to be removed,
00:47and the cutting and polishing units of the AP MDC were put on hold.
00:52It was seen that a lot of money was lost in that.
00:54Even the units that were closed at that time,
00:5610 in Cheemakurthi and 10 in Chittoor,
00:5820 machines were put on hold.
01:00Each machine was worth 3 crores in Rajasthan,
01:03and was ready to buy 8 crores from China.
01:06For this, from Visakha Steel Plant to AP MDC,
01:09the tenders were signed with the general manager of the procurement department, Bose.
01:25Venkateddy's accomplice, U Krishnaprasad,
01:29has brought Chinese machines through Dhanvantari Associates.
01:33For 20 machines, AP MDC is ready to call for tenders for 160 crores.
01:38To send the tender worth 100 crores to the court,
01:42the procurement department's GM, Bose,
01:45has called for tenders for 80 crores worth 10 machines separately.
01:49This tender was conducted by Dhanvantari Associates.
01:53In reality, this organization is a pharmaceutical company.
01:56It does not have experience in granite machines.
01:59But Venkateddy did not care.
02:01At that time, the AP MDC Finance Department,
02:03the Mining Authority, and the advisors
02:06all urged not to accept Chinese machines through Dhanvantari.
02:10However, Venkateddy did not care,
02:12and took a step forward with Bose.
02:14Dhanvantari Associates, which lost its bid in the tenders,
02:17was guaranteed a bank of 26 lakhs.
02:20After that, Venkateddy promised to send 20% more,
02:23that is, up to 30 crores in advance.
02:26The finance department said no to this.
02:28Upon meeting the AP MDC board on this file,
02:31they decided to take permission from the state government
02:34for the buyers of Chinese machines.
02:36With this, Dhanvantari Associates sent a letter
02:38to the Chief Executive Officer of Garuda Sekha.
02:40At that time, Venkateddy did not allow these buyers
02:43to pay any fees for this transaction,
02:45nor did he allow these buyers
02:47to participate in these tenders.
02:49Venkateddy, who insisted on this transaction,
02:51forced the procurement GM, Bose,
02:53to cancel his deputation.
02:55The matter was sent to the steel plant.
02:57The CMO, who had no access to Venkateddy,
02:59was fired.
03:01On the other hand, Dhanvantari Associates,
03:03Krishnaprasad, who had spent some money at that time,
03:06was not bothered by the letter
03:08that he had sent.
