The Government should take necessary action, in recovering the money, said Pawan Kalyan.
There was a lack of clarity, in the investigations. The actor, further said, that he could not understand why there was a delay in ensuring justice to the victims.
The owners of the company have around 20,000 acres of land and properties.
The scam has affected about 32 lakh depositors in nine states, owing Rs 6,380 crore.
About, 19 lakh depositors, who have deposited Rs 4000 crore, with the company, are from only Andhra Pradesh.
The Jana Sena leader, further addressed, saying the scam could have solved earlier, when the cheques of the company bounced.
The actor said, he did not raise the issue, since it was under the supervision of the Court.
He further questioned the roles and responsibilities of the political leaders, and even warned the public representatives, who are expecting a benefit from the scam.
Few victims broke down at the meeting, while narrating their tale of owes, to the actor.
Raising concern over the suicides by more than 100 victims, the actor said, there is a need to immediately come to the rescue of the depositors.

Of the 19 accused, only seven were arrested so far by Andhra Pradesh police.
Pawan Kalyan stated that, the Jana Sena party works with the ideology to focus on people's issues irrespective of the parties.
And this is the reason he has come forward, said Pawan Kalyan.
