Reacting on the ED raids, Anakapalli MP C.M. Ramesh said, ‘‘This is just the beginning.’‘ In a video message, Mr. Ramesh alleged that several YSRCP leaders, including Mr. Satyanarayana, grabbed government as well as private lands, apart from creating troubles to the public. He said that the Centre had all the information regarding the atrocities committed by the YSRCP leaders and it was very serious about it. The CBI, ED, CID and the police would not spare them, he added.
