Press Statement
S. Sudhakar Reddy, Deputy General Secretary, Communist Party of India has issued the following statement to the press:-
Communist Party of India expresses serious concern at the way Puttaparthi Saibaba’s Trust wealth is being plundered. Two days back Police could catch Rs. 35 lakhs in the borders of Andhra-Karnataka which is supposed to be the money from the trust. Earlier 99 K.g gold, huge amount of silver, eleven crore currency was said to have been counted from the personal room of Sri Saibaba. It is also alleged that the counting is not transparent and neither revenue nor police representatives were allowed during counting. The Trust members should explain why did they cannot the tresume in secret and non-transparent. It is surprising why the godman has get interest in keeping this material wealth in his personal possession. It is necessary the Income Tax Department and other concerned government departments to go through the accounts and find out whether exemptions were given to the trust and to what extent.
The refusal of Mr Ratnakar, member of the Trust, that the money caught in Karnataka border did not belong to trust, will not satisfy the people. Why such denial even before an enquiry?. If the money belongs to trust, government should arrest and punish the culprits. We are against a private trust to be managed by the government. But proper mechanism from government, to over see the trust finances and activities is necessary, as this is the fund, donated by the public, in their respect to Saibaba. Trust may continue the Education, health, drinking water supply etc. philanthropic activities which Shri Saibaba initiated during his lifetime. All the accounts and activities of the Trust should be transparent and create confidence amount the large number of devotees and followers of Sri Saibaba.
