In the same way it is something special to note that he had been grateful enough to bestow vehicles to writers who were good enough to have his interviews published in leading newspapers. A person surveying the list of vehicles it is absolutely clear as to how he had treated his political Party as well as his kith and kin by bestowing vehicles with utter affection. After giving these vehicles to the State Engineering Corporation on a basis of hire and had been directed to Engineering sites, though he had requested the vehicles from the engineering sites saying that they were necessary, the said vehicles had not been given to them and instead directed for misappropriation, the police have explained. On the other hand he had handed over the vehicles to his close relatives by saying that those vehicles were attached to the Janasevana Project of the Minister.
