Jagan will come out clean, says Vijayamma

                                                                                    

YSR Congress Party honorary president Y.S. Vijayamma asserted on Thursday that her son Jaganmohan Reddy will come out clean in the CBI cases despite being targeted by the Congress and TDP as he never interfered with the government functioning.

Addressing a string of election meetings in Rayachoti, Sanipai, Rajampet, Pullampet, Obulavaripalle and Kodur in her native Kadapa district, she promised that Jagan would fulfil YSR's goals and serve the people like his father. The outcome of the by-elections would change the political scenario in the State, she said.

She called upon people to teach a lesson to the Congress and Telugu Desam, which colluded to victimise her family and target Jagan for quitting Congress and launching his own party. Alleging that Congress was guiding course of the CBI inquiry in Jagan's case, she wondered why her complaint against TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu was not considered.

She asked why the government and Congress leaders were fearing the demand for a re-inquiry into YSR's demise in a helicopter crash and in turn levelling baseless allegations against his family members. She asked why Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy who was to fly to Chittoor along with YSR on the ill-fated day dropped his programme.

Ms. Vijayamma said the TDP levelled baseless corruption charges against YSR by projecting an arbitrary figure of Rs. 1 lakh crores in its book. Jagan pursued business and set up industries well before YSR became Chief Minister.

Resenting the charge that Jagan was a power-monger, she asked why would he propose K. Rosaiah for Chief Ministership despite having support of about 153 MLAs. Criticising Congress leaders accusing her of being power-hungry, she said she never came to the people but was now being forced to do so.

Developmental and welfare schemes implemented during YSR rule reached every household but were taking a backseat now, the YSRCP leader said and said the Congress government was not concerned at the plight of farmers, women and youth. She urged the people to elect YSRCP candidates G. Srikanth Reddy, A. Amarnath Reddy and K. Srinivasulu, who quit their Assembly seats for the cause of farmers.
