In his first reaction to the charges leveled against him, former Andhra Pradesh chief minister Jagan Mohan Reddy on Thursday dismissed allegations regarding the payment of bribes to Andhra Pradesh officials by the Adani Group for solar power purchases during his party-led government (19-24). The YSRCP chief said that the deal was purely between government agencies and claimed that there was no third party involved in the power purchase agreement with the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI).
"The bribery charge is all hearsay, and nobody has said that I or anyone else has taken bribes," he said.
The YSRCP chief defended the state's power deal with SECI, saying he had met Adani several times during his tenure as CM of Andhra Pradesh, adding that there was nothing "unusual," as it is ordinary for businessmen to meet heads of states.
