  • Emperor-Of-Corruption.Pdf
    2 Emperor of Corruption Chandrababu Naidu The Emperor of Corruption Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu has achieved a record of sorts in corruption. Under his leadership, the state has become the capital of collusive corruption and is underperforming across the sectors. In the last twenty four months, the quantum of his corruption has overtaken the total corruption of his previous nine-year tenure put together. Kickbacks, bribes, shares, commissions…the name could differ, but corruption is open and ubiquitous in the state. The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) Government has unilaterally and without any obligation under the contract has granted escalations to the civil contractors with retrospective effect even in Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contracts where the Contractor has undertaken not to claim escalation. While facilitating such escaltions to the contractors through GO MS No.22, the Chandrababu government is amassing huge amounts as kickbacks. Even though the Union Government has an obligation to take over and completely implement the Polavaram project, the TDP Government has implemented the ill-advised no storage, temporary project of Patti Seema at the cost of Rs. 1600 crore just to pocket Rs 500 crore as kick backs by giving the contract. The government gave the contract at 21.9% excess rate (to the Estimated Project Value) and in that 16.9% as bonus for completing work in the stipulated time period of one year. And worse, the bonus clause was not even a part of the contract when the tenders were called. Having accomplished that, the TDP Government is now trying to take over Polavaram project by substantially escalating the project cost only for pocketing kickbacks, even when the prices of Petrol, Diesel, Steel, Aluminium and Sand rates have come down, while cement rates have not gone up.
