YSR would have been in jail today

Congress senior leader and former Rajya Sabha member V Hanumantha Rao on Thursday said that former chief minister late YS Rajasekhara Reddy would have surely been in jail if he were alive for looting thousands of acres of government land.

Describing both YSR and his son Jagan as thieves, VH alleged that statues of the deceased leader were put up all over the state by the young leader with the illegal money amassed during his father's tenure as CM.

"What Chiranjeevi had said about them is right. Both YSR and Jagan should be treated as the branches of the same tree. YSR is a thief and the same applies to Jagan," he said. VH pointed out that Congress failed to counter the allegations made by Jagan against Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.

'YSR's corruption - 100 times bigger than 2G Scam'

Dynamics To Change After CBI JD's Exit

Like ACB Special Investigation Chief, CBI Joint Director Lakshmi Narayana is also going to be relieved in a couple of months. Political observers are saying that exit of CBI JD from the post will have a devastating effect on the cases he is handling at present.

CBI Joint Director Lakshmi Narayana is said to be the key in investigating scams like Emaar and Jagan's illegal assets. However, JD was given an extension of two months to continue in this post as he is supposed to finish investigations. Sources are saying that government is delaying so many things in case of Emaar and Jagan, such that they can alternate the results when JD quits.

Lakshmi Narayana will be going to head office on a promotion as his tenure in AP exceeded more than 6 years. Opposition sleuths are saying that Congress may alter Jagan's position in accused list if he joins hands with them and for this they need a change in CBI leadership. Already, Kiran Kumar government is facing severe criticism for transferring ACB's top cop Srinivasa Reddy in connection with 'liqour case'. Let us see how things turn in the event of coming by-polls!

Botsa Backs YSR and Knocks Jagan

Once again PCC chief started giving a coloring that there are no clashes inside Congress party and all those are creations of media. Unlike earlier, he however changed his strategy about Jagan.

'We have met Azad only to discuss about future strategies of the party as by-polls are approaching', stated Botsa, denying that they are in Delhi to settle disputes among them. He felt that Jagan should prove his innocence even for the allegations that popped against his father YSR. 'As a head of YSR party he should stand for the allegations against YSR', said Botsa. However, he stated that nothing sort of corruption happened in YSR's government though YS Jagan is a corrupt man.

Looks like Botsa is changing words to use the image of YSR as a positive weapon for their party. Earlier he used to say that CBI and court will decide if YSR is a corrupt man or not. While the PCC chief is taking pretty time to knock Jagan, he claimed innocence when asked about the transfer of ACB SIT officer Srinivasa Reddy, who is investigation Liquor Scam. For you information, this is what they call politics!
