Hyderabad, May 29 : Y.S. Vijayalakshmi, honorary president of YSR Congress and Y.S. Bharathi Reddy, wife of YSR Congress chief, Jagan Mohan Reddy, on Tuesday, blamed the CBI for not investigating the illegal investments case properly.
Talking to this newspaper at Indira Park here, during a daylong protest against the illegal detention of Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, Ms Vijayalakshmi alleged that the Congress and TD have conspired to send Jagan Mohan Reddy to jail. They are now trying to ensure that bail is denied to him.
Citing the state government’s reluctance to file a counter affidavit before the AP High Court in the PIL by Shankar Rao, seeking a probe against Jagan, she said if the government had filed an affidavit at that time, there would not have been any case against Jagan.
The government intentionally avoided such an affidavit even though the court granted time, she alleged. She said while the ministers are openly declaring that all the 26 GOs issued by them, were in order, the government has not yet come out with an official statement.
They said that would not be surprised if the Congress and TD join hands to fight YSRC in 2014 elections.
“We are God-fearing people. The traitors will pay for their misdeeds one day,” Ms Bharathi said.
“It won’t be a surprise if the Congress and TD openly join together to defeat Jagan, in 2014 elections.”
Ms Bharathi Reddy alleged that the Congress-run CBI intends to keep her husband in custody until the general elections, to gain political mileage for its masters.
She said her husband was in jail today not because of corruption, but because he chose to stand by the people. Irrespective of what it means to him he will choose to do what his people want him to do. She said the investigation has been on for the last 22months, and in the status report filed before the Supreme Court, the CBI asked for three months in October 2012 to complete the investigation. Again, the CBI said that they need another four months to complete the investigation, she added.
She said, “This farce is being watched by the people and in the general elections they will give their verdict, in clear tone, putting an end to the game of nexus between the ruling and main Opposition parties".
As per the provisions of the CrPC the investigation agency, has to complete the probe and file a charge sheet, within 90 days in a cognisable offence. More than a year has elapsed and the CBI sis till calming that the investigation is on, she added. It clearly shows that the investigation was politically motivated. The delay in investigation was only to ensure that Jagan should remain in jail.
Ms Vijayamma alleged that the TD Chief Chandrababu Naidu has been protecting both the state and the Central governments for his selfish interests. She questioned whether Mr Naidu had fulfilled any one of his poll promises during his nine years of reign as the CM of the State.
No public institution was working in a systematic manner in the country under the UPA Government, but Naidu has chosen to support it for his own political survival, she alleged. She charged that Naidu is the key man in resignation of the ministers and the resignations are end results of Naidu’s secret meetings with Congress leaders in Delhi, during his recent trips.
