HYDERABAD: Pointing to former CBI
director Joginder Singh's comments during an interview that CBI
functions at the behest of the Union home ministry and its approach
varies from case to case, YSR Congress on Sunday said its stand that
Jaganmohan Reddy was being targeted by the UPA at the Centre has been
vindicated.
"The CBI functions as per the directives of the central government. It is clear that the TDP has conspired to join hands with the Congress, and the CBI is being used as a tool to settle political scores," party spokesperson Vasireddy Padma told reporters.
TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu's secret meeting with Union home minister P Chidambaram, and the fact that his party has a former CBI director in its ranks clearly indicate the elements of witch-hunt against Jagan, she alleged. "On one hand a former director of CBI openly admits that the agency functions as per the diktats of the Centre, and on the other, the TDP has with it another former CBI director who has been helping the party script the conspiracy case against Jagan," she alleged. The ruling and opposition parties have come together only to stop the emergence of a third force in the state, she said.
"A section of media which is against our party has also joined the conspiracy bandwagon. It has become the mouthpiece of the main conspirators.
"There have been selective leaks that were published and the CBI has never questioned the source nor issued a rejoinder," Padma alleged.
