Vijayawada: Senior authorities of the AP industrial taxes department (CTD) have gone for it to protect the interests of Telugu Desam MLC P.

Ashok Babu, a bitter critic of Chief Minister Y.S.

Jagan Mohan Reddy.Ignoring all proof readily available on record, the CTD provided a clean chit to Ashok Babu in a Lokayukta case.

State GST commissioner Peeyush Kumar even wrote to its registrar to drop more action on a problem submitted against the MLC.

Making things more embarrassing for the judgment dispensation, the CTD on Saturday unlawfully transferred the complainant in the event, B.

Meher Kumar, GST officer and president of the AP Commercial Taxes NGOs Association.

Meher approached the Lokayukta against the TD MLC after the YSR Congress took the reins of the federal government.

Transfer of the complainant together with 4 others is a clear case of witch hunting since he questioned the previous questions carried out by senior authorities into Ashok Babu's case and approached the Lokayukta versus them, declared K.R.

Suryanarayana, president of the AP Federal Government Personnel Association.

The transfer of Meher Kumar and others to any district besides Krishna is a clear offense of the Presidential Order, he explained.

Queries exposed that Ashok Babu had actually looked for voluntary retirement just before filing his nomination paper as MLC throughout the Chandrababu Naidu program.

There were accusations about his wrong claims of education credentials and pending criminal cases however the then inquiry officer looked the other way and an offered tidy chit to Ashok Babu, facilitating his retirement from service and contesting the Legislative Council elections.Meher Kumar approached the Lokayukta mentioning that Ashok Babu had incorrectly claimed that he was a graduate and had actually mentioned in his election affidavit his pending criminal cases while the department had actually concluded that there were no pending cases.

Meher Kumar also produced evidence to develop that Ashok Babu was participated in political activity including campaigning for the Congress versus the BJP in the Karnataka Assembly elections.
