Chandrababu Naidu has said that there was no response so far from President Abdul Kalam and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the report he had recently submitted to them listing the various acts of ommissions and commissions of the State Government on the Outer Ring Road (ORR) project and the Gouru Venkat Reddy case.

Addressing a press conference before rounding off his 2-day visit to his home district, he asserted that the President and the Prime Minister have a constitutional responsibility cast on them in ensuring the rule of law.

On the Rajaiah episode, Mr. Naidu described it as mother of all scams and said that an all-party meeting should be convened to discuss the issue.

Later, the TDP president held a close door meeting with district party functionaries.
