Former minister has been facing several allegations including collection of bribe from stone crusher unit owners and commission for lands acquired for Jagananna housing colony
Guntur: Home minister Vangapudi Anitha ordered an inquiry into allegation collection of Rs 2.5 crore bribe by former minister Vidadala Rajini and her personal assistant Gopi from Balaji Stone Crushers at Yadlapadu when she was in the post.
