Telugu Desam Party leader and former Andhra chief minister Dr N Chandrababu Naidu on Saturday denied charges that he had favored Mr G Janardhan Reddy the former Karnataka minister, arrested by the CBI for illegal iron ore mining.

Mr Naidu told a gathering in Kurnool that ''I have no fear as I did no mistake. I informed the same to former chief minister YSR.”

The TDP chief accused the late YSR and his son of starting their newspaper and cement business allegedly with ill gotten funds.

According to Mr Naidu, YSR had filed 15 cases against him in the supreme court and the high court. He also set up 26 commissions of inquiry, but they failed to prove any charges against him.

Mr YS Jaganmohan Reddy the chief of the YSR Congress and son of Mr YS Rajasekhara Reddy, the former Andhra chief minister, who was killed in an air crash, had accused Mr Naidu of favoring the mining mafia in the state and had urged the CBI to probe his role in the scam.

Jaganmohan Reddy, who started his own political outfit after the Congress denied him the chief minister ship of the state after his father's death, was on Friday summoned by the CBI for questioning about his links to the mining mafia.
