Hyderabad: YSR Congress chief
Jaganmohan Reddy's mother Vijayamma is set to kick off her party's
bypoll campaign in Andhra Pradesh from Wednesday. Vijayamma met Jagan in
Chanchalguda jail cell on Tuesday. She and her family have been sitting
on dharna accusing the CBI of a witchhunt in order to prevent Jagan
from campaigning for the bypolls that will take place on June 12.
Vijayamma will begin her campaign from Srikakulam district of Andhra
Pradesh on Wednesday.
"Jagan has been campaigning extensively and because the Congress
fears of being routed in the bypolls, so they have put my son in prison.
I will seek the people's mandate. People of Andhra Pradesh have seen
how my family has been treated after my husband's death. I have faith in
their decision," she told CNN-IBN.
"I had earlier written to Sonia Gandhi and the Prime Minister and now to the Chief Election Commissioner. I have knocked on all doors for justice for my family and now I am putting this matter before the people's court," she added.
Meanwhile, a team of Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials from Delhi on Tuesday arrived in Hyderabad to approach a local court for questioning Jagan who has been arrested by the CBI in a disproportionate assets case.
The ED wants to question 39-year-old Reddy, who was sent to a jail on Monday after being remanded in two weeks of judicial custody by a CBI court, with regard to financial dealings in various firms run by him and other investments he and his companies allegedly made overseas.
The CBI's first charge sheet in the case was against Reddy and 12 others and had accused him of getting investments worth several crores from various business firms into his businesses as part of quid-pro-quo when his father, late YS Rajasekhara Reddy, was the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh. The CBI has filed three chargesheets in the case till now.
