‘CBI should probe role of the six Ministers in Jagan's assets case'

                                                                         
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is looking into the disproportionate assets case against Kadapa MP Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy, should go after the Ministers in the Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy Cabinet for their alleged involvement in the irregularities committed during the YSR regime, according to CPI State secretary K. Narayana.
Talking to reporters here on Saturday, after addressing the party's ‘shaka' secretaries and mandal councils' members, he faulted the CBI action against officials in the case.
The CPI leader sought to justify his stand, stating that officials would not have acted without the nod of the Ministers concerned.
He wanted the six members of the YSR Cabinet who had received the Supreme Court notices to be removed from their posts. Then alone the ruling partymen would be convincing in criticising the YSR Congress Party president Jaganmohan Reddy for his alleged misdeeds. Mr. Narayana pointed that the ‘corrupt' Government could not effectively rebut the criticism by YSRCP chief as long as the six Ministers remained in office. He said the party was opposed to the Cabinet committee deciding the State excise policy; it was in favour of holding an all-party meeting for taking a decision.
The party favoured the Government itself running the liquor shops. The CPI leader warned of launching an agitation against the Government's liquor policy.
As part of the agitation, CPI activists would lay siege to the Excise department offices across the State on May 25.
Liquor mafia
He hit out at the Government, alleging that it was acting like ‘liquor mafia' and that it has no right to administer. Mr. Narayana said he would lead the party's ‘Telangana praja andolana jata' from June 5 to 15.
