Osmania University JAC gave a complaint to the Joint Director CBI today to probe into the wasteful expenditure made by Chiranjeevi as Union Minister of Tourism.

The members of the OU JAC went to the office of the CBI in Kothi to submit their complaint in which they mentioned that a huge sum of Rs.2 Crores 14 Lakhs was spent in Park Hyatt and Taj Falaknuma in which the international meet UNWTO organized by Chiranjeevi.

Their allegation is that a big amount was given away to the corporate hotels out of the funds available at the disposal of the Minister.   In the wake of it a thorough probe was requested by OU JAC on the entire money transactions.  

The OU students yesterday tried to attack on Chiranjeevi’s residence and to burn effigy of Chiranjeevi for the alleged lavish spending of Govt.funds.  Police of course foiled their attempt and arrested some of them and later let them go on personal sureties.  

The funds are of Central Government and the amount is spent in the State for the development of the State.  Although Chiranjeevi is a Union Minister, he brought the summit to his home State for which we in fact should feel happy.

Probes can be initiated on the Government spending.  But why Chiranjeevi alone?

Nobody so far filed any complaint on the State Government’s spending money on Delhi tours to discuss politics and to launch popular Govt. schemes to earn good will for the party.  Did anybody question on the expenditure met for running Assembly? How much of air fare and helicopter charges are met and for what purpose?  If one asks for these expenses including the money spent on the Members of the Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council in terms of remuneration and other expenses astonishing figures will come out.  

It is very easy to provoke a common man who is not aware of the rates of star hotels.  They can also be enraged if the expenses of the Government are made public.
