Huzarabad MLA Padi Kaushik Reddy challenged Minister Ponnam Prabhakar on Sunday to swear in the name of Lord Venkateshwara Swamy, claiming he did not take any money in the illegal transportation of fly ash. He said he would apologize unconditionally if proven otherwise.
The Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader announced his plan to visit the Apollo Venkateswara Swamy temple at 11 am on Wednesday. He invited Minister Ponnam to join him there and take an oath, invoking God as a witness to prove his innocence in the fly ash scam.
Padi Kaushik Reddy warned that if Minister Ponnam does not show up at the temple on Wednesday, he will reveal more details to the media at that time.
