F.N.P.T.O which had nursed grievance against me for turning
down their fancyful demands conspired with Mr.Owl-say to send
a memorandum to the Minister for Communications about some
baseless allegations of financial impropriety against me.The
rationale was I being on friendly terms with NFPTE leaked out
the irregularity committed by Mr.Owlsay in the building loan
case to the union and thus complaint against Mr.Owl-say came
about resulting in the cancellation of the loan and resultant denial
of unlawful monetary gain.The Additional PMG with the help of

FNPTO Union tried to frame me in a case of advance payment
made by SRM, Guntakal Division to a furniture dealer in
Hyderabad.The consequence of this conspiracy and relentless
campaign against me dragged on for 2 years even after I was
transferred to Directorate first as Director (R&D) and then as
D.D.G (Planning) till the Secretary himself found no merit in the
allegations against me and finally dropped the case.Not only
this,the Secretary known for his acumen made away with my
anxiety and assured me of my promotion to SAG grade.
