Is KVP the hand of God for Srilakshmi?

So who saved accused IAS officer Y Srilakshmi from spending more time in Chanchalguda jail? Congress MP Madhu Yaski claims it was KVP Ramachandra Rao, the former advisor to the state government.
Srilakshmi secured bail barely 24 hours after she was remanded to judicial custody, a rarity in these days when courts are unwilling to be generous to the accused in white collar offenses.
Alleging KVP’s role in the hastening of the bail for Srilakshmi, Madhu Yaski also accused the YSR soulmate of colluding with Jagan. KVP encouraged some Congress MLAs to support Jagan during the no-confidence motion, he alleged.
Surprising allegation, considering that KVP was criticized by TDP and others for moving around Assembly lobbies on the eve of the motion in an apparent bid to ensure victory to the government side.
The quintessential man-behind-the-screen himself, however, will not open his mouth to throw light on any of these rather wild insinuations.

Was Srilakshmi confident to get bail??

Did the IAS officer Y Srilakshmi had an inkling that she would get bail in the illegal mining case within 24 hours of being sent to jail?
Going by the way she managed to walk out of Chanchalguda prison, it appears that she did. Interestingly, she did not carry even a pair of clothes along with her to the jail which is normally the case with most of the other prisoners. Within 24 hours of being imprisoned, the bureaucrat was released on conditional bail.
This has baffled the political class. They said that a politician like Gali Janardhan Reddy is still languishing in prison while Srilakshmi, arrested for the same case, could walk out. She was released on bail on four grounds: She is a woman officer, she is not keeping good health, the investigation in the case is one year old and the deadline for filing the charge sheet was nearing.
Srilakshmi was in CBI custody for three days before she was handed over to judicial remand as per court orders. Few expected that her bail petition would be allowed, given both the seriousness of the charges levelled against her by the CBI as well as the recent such instances where the high and the mighty in high profile cases were bluntly refused freedom

Sabitha gets Clean Chit

CBI has indirectly given clean chit to Minister Sabitha Indra Reddy. During the arguments over the bail petition of arrested IAS officer Srilakshmi, CBI lawyers said the attempts of the official to shift the blame to Sabitha were unwarranted.
“The decisions to issue impugned GOs in favour of the accused Gali brothers were taken at the level of secretary. The Minister had no role in this,” the CBI defended before the Nampally CBI court today.
Earlier, Srilakshmi’s advocates argued that she had taken all the decisions in accordance with the instructions of the then Mines Minister Sabitha Indra Reddy. Hence she was falsely implicated in the case and bail should be given immediately, they said.
The CBI also alleged that Srilakshmi’s medical reports were fudged. It may be recalled that Srilakshmi claimed that she was suffering from heart ailment. It was one of the reasons proffered for the bail plea.
The judge reserved the orders on bail for tomorrow (Friday).

IAS Srilakshmi Suspended

In a further humiliation to senior IAS officer Y Srilakshmi, who was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation in connection with the Obulapuram Mining case, the Kiran Kumar Reddy government on Thursday suspended her from service, pending the CBI inquiry.
As per the government rules, any official who happens to be in the custody or judicial remand for more than 48 hours, has to be suspended from the job till the inquiry is completed and he or she gets acquitted. One does not know how long this Obulapuram mining case will go on; and till such time, Srilakshmi would have to be out of job under suspension.
Though Srilakshmi might get half-pay all through her suspension period, the arrest and the CBI inquiry into her alleged irregularities, would be recorded in her service register and would continue to haunt her till her retirement. Not only that, it would severely hamper her image, credibility and also the promotion chances.
A bright officer that she is, Srilakshmi had all the chances of rising to the rank of Chief Secretary in her career. And all that is now spoiled because of one scam.
Srilakshmi applied for bail stating that she was suffering from heart ailments. She complained of sickness on Thursday morning and the doctors had conducted tests on her. May be she will get the bail on health grounds.
