TD wants Rajus to get bail

BY J.R.PRASAD

Hyderabad Jan. 11: In a sudden about-turn, the Telugu Desam on Sunday asked the government to secure bail for Mr B. Ramalinga Raju, disgraced chairman of Satyam Computers. The TD spokesperson, Ms Nannapaneni Rajakumari, also demanded that if Mr Raju continues to be in jail, he should be given better medical facilities. “It is learnt that Mr Raju is frequently complaining of chest pain. But the jail authorities are not providing him proper medical care,” Ms Rajakumari said. “Mr Raju’s life is in danger now,” she said. Ms Rajakumari saw no fault of the Rajus. She said they had been jailed and not allowed to speak because the government was afraid that he would spill the beans. Earlier, a TD MLA tur-ned up at the Chanchal-guda jail to meet the Rajus. Officials turned away Mr P. Venkata Krishna Rao alias Krishna Babu, TD MLA from Kovvur, as mulakat (meetings) are not allowed on Sundays. He had come to meet his “old friends.”
