Congress party on Wednesday lashed out at the YSR
Congress president Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy for alleging a conspiracy to
arrest him and get the by-elections postponed citing violence.
“Jagan
is making such allegations fearing arrest. Elections will held as
scheduled on June 12. Once election notification is issued, there is no
way, it can be postponed,” Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy said at a
meeting in Tirupati to coincide with the admission of former TDP leader
Shankar Reddy into the party. APCC chief Botcha Satyanarayana demanded
that Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy withdraw the remarks unconditionally. He told
reporters that the onus of proving his innocence in the CBI case rested
with Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy and there was no need for Congress to hatch a
conspiracy to get him arrested.
Meanwhile, TDP
president N. Chandrababu Naidu mocked at Mr. Jagan's charge of a
conspiracy to get him arrested and postpone by-polls, saying only a
person with guilty conscience could come up with such a theory.
Addressing
a press conference, Mr. Naidu said Mr. Jagan should know that law would
take its course and throwing mud on others every time law enforcement
agencies zeroed in on him would not work. He dismissed the charge that
he had met Union Minister Vayalar Ravi as “childish”. He said it was in
fact a conspiracy hatched by the Congress and YSRCP.
The
nexus between the two parties was glaring going by the weak arguments
the government was putting up in courts in Mr. Jagan's cases. This was
showing in the court directing de-freezing of the accounts of
Sakshi
.
In Mr. Jagan's assets case, the accused number one
was left out while number 12 was arrested. Former key advisors to the
government like K.V. P. Ramachandra Rao and Ministers were spared.
