Telugu Desam Party (TDP) president N. Chandrababu Naidu
on Monday dared YSR Congress president Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy to follow
his example and declare his assets explaining the source instead of
making wild allegations.
For
a person who misused his father's position to make money, it was indeed
laughable to claim that he would provide a corruption- free
administration, Mr. Naidu said referring to Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy's
comment.
He recalled that the Heritage Group owned by
his family for 20 years, ran stores from rented premises while Mr.
Reddy ran his newspaper from own buildings everywhere. “How did he get
so much of money?”
Ridiculing Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy's
charge of an understanding between the TDP and Congress, he reminded him
that the former had almost a three-decade record of fighting the latter
and bringing together all non-Congress parties to form government at
the Centre. In fact, it was Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy who had an
understanding with Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy, he alleged.
The
TDP president reiterated his appeal to students of Telangana not to
resort to extreme steps. he said his party had made its stand clear and
it was for the Congress to take the final call.
Addressing a press
conference, Mr. Naidu said Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy owed an explanation to
people how he managed to make thousands of crores of assets in a short
span of five years when his father and former Chief Minister Y. S.
Rajasekhara Reddy had put up his house on sale in 2004. Everyone was
aware of Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy's grandfather's record of starting off as a
clerk in a barytes unit and then owning it using devious means, he
said.
