Senior IAS officer Tishyaralshit Chataterjee told CBI that The Engineers and higher authorities were the recipients of verbal scoldings by political bosses in the congress government headed by late YSRif any one of them raised quiries regarding the stature of the work. Chataterjee is currently working as the secretery of the ministry environment and forests. Chatterjee also told the CBI that MGVK Bhanu, the then special secretary to CM handling R&B subject, used to often do the follow up work on issues relating to contracts of infrastructure nature with him over phone and personally. The CBI recorded the statements of Chatterjee and another IAS officer Rajiv Ranjan Mishra who has been with the irrigation department as its secretary from April 2006 entrusted with the job of looking after the progress of construction of irrigation projects in Rayala seema region and also Prakasam and Nellore districts. The probe agency was trying to arrive at a conclusion as to why disgraced Satyam founder Ramalinga raju choose to invest Rs 20 crore in Jagan firms and in the process came across a road work near Gandikota reservoir in Kadapa which was entrusted to Raju's Maytas Infra on a nomination basis. Both the officials deposed before the CBI that the road work worth Rs 120 crore was first entrusted to Maytas in December 2008. But within less than a month from then, Raju confessed to his fudging crime and went to jail. It was then that the officials referred the matter to the council of ministers for its approval of the same after reducing the value of the project to Rs 90 crore. Since YSR intervened and wrote on the file that the work was entrusted to Maytas infra.
