Jagan can’t escape from corruption cases, says TDP leader Varla Ramaiah
The YSRCP chief got the investigation dragged on for 15 years, but he no longer has that luxury as the courts are set to conduct trial on daily basis, he says
TDP Polit Bureau member Varla Ramaiah stated on Thursday that YSRCP president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy was unable to escape from the numerous corruption cases that had been under investigation for 15 years, as the courts were set to conduct trials on a daily basis. The investigation into the Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy murder probe, which led to the questioning of Kadapa MP Y.S.
Avinash Reddy by the Enforcement Directorate, further worsened Jagan Mohan Reddy's situation. Ramaiah noted that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had concluded that Jagan Mohan Reddy had amassed wealth equivalent to nearly ₹43,000 crore during his father's tenure as Chief Minister, and the courts were exerting pressure on him, prompting the YSRCP chief to desperately seek a way out of the dire situation.
The noose around Jagan Mohan Reddy's neck seemed to be tightening in other major scandals, as investigating agencies were focusing on the conspirators in the Vivekananda Reddy murder case. Initially, the YSRCP had sought a CBI inquiry, but later changed their stance for reasons unknown. The party was reportedly attempting to undermine the conduct of local body elections, as they realized their chances of winning were slim.
