Stop political vendetta against Jagan: Ramchandra Rao

YSR Congress party official spokesperson Gattu Ramchandra Rao on Thursday alleged that  party president Jaganmohan Reddy was being harassed for leaving the Congress party.

Talking to media persons at party office over the Central Bureau of Investigation raids across the nation on Jagan’s offices, he said that Jagan was being targeted by the Congress as he quit the party. Referring to the Anti-Corruption Bureau court recently giving a clean chit to former chief minister K Rosaiah in a land case at Ameerpet, he said that the former chief minister got clean chit because he was in the Congress.

"When the government can arrest Anna Hazare and lodge him in Tihar Jail, we can expect anything from this government,” said Ramchandra Reddy when asked if he feared Jagan's arrest in the case.

Another official spokesman Ambati Rambabu said the cases filed against Jagan in the High Court were politically motivated.

He wondered how the court could order a probe on the basis of a letter by Handlooms and Textiles Minister P Shankar Rao. "If the same yardstick is applied, a CBI probe has to be ordered against every top politician in the country," he said.
