Govt foisting cases on my family: Perni Nani

Former minister and YSRCP Krishna district president Perni Venkatramaiah (Nani) has alleged that the government is fabricating cases against him and his family as part of a political vendetta.
Addressing a press conference at the YSRCP Central Office, he dismissed as baseless the allegations of rice shortages at a warehouse owned by his wife, Jaya Sudha. He claimed the accusations were an attempt to justify actions against him, his wife, and his son.
Nani stated that his wife promptly informed Civil Supplies Department officials about the shortage and offered to either replenish the missing stock or pay its value. Despite their cooperation and an immediate payment of Rs 1.70 crore, an FIR was registered against his wife and the warehouse manager. He alleged that a senior minister was behind these actions, targeting his family unfairly.
“The minister even called me a thief without evidence. If he has proof, let him present it,” Nani challenged, highlighting that similar cases in the past were resolved by recovering dues without filing criminal charges. He questioned why his family was being treated differently.
Nani demanded transparency from Civil Supplies Minister Nadendla Manohar, urging the release of records on previous rice shortages and actions taken against other offenders. He also criticised delays in his wife’s bail proceedings and a smear campaign labelling him as “absconding.”
Concluding on an emotional note, Nani asserted, “I have done nothing wrong. This is a political conspiracy to silence me. I will fight for justice and expose the truth.”
