Rajakumari describes Jagan's assets case as 'Political drama'

Telugu Desam MLC and official spokesperson Nannapaneni Rajakumari on Thursday described the CBI freezing the bank accounts of Sakshi group and investigations against disproportionate properties case of YSR Congress Party president Jagan Mohan Reddy as 'political drama'.

 Talking to media persons at Telugu Desam Legislature Party office, Nannapaneni Rajakumari stated that the freezing bank accounts of Sakshi group and government's move to attach properties of Jagan Mohan Reddy were part of a political stunt of the Congress party to get mileage in the ensuing by-elections.  She claimed that the Congress party followed same strategy in the case of Mamata Banerjee, Sharad Pawar, N D Tiwari and former Lok Sabha Speaker P A Sangma.

 Stating that same strategy was now being implemented against Jagan Mohan Reddy, she said that the Congress party lacks commitment to eradicate corruption and that the entire political drama was being enacted against Jagan to get mileage in the by-elections. Describing YSR Congress and Congress party as the different sides of a same coin, she asked as to why the government did not initiate action against six ministers, who were indicted by the Supreme Court for issuing controversial GOs favouring Jagan Mohan Reddy in accumulating his wealth. If the Congress was really committed to end corruption, she demanded that Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy sack those ministers from the cabinet and order probe against them immediately. 

Though suspended IAS officer Y Srilakshmi stated that she cleared the mining file due to pressure mounted on her by the then Mines and Geology Minister P Sabitha Indra Reddy, she asked as to why the government has not initiated action against her.

Rajkumari also came down heavily on the Congress MPs for participating in the by-election campaign by skipping the Parliament session. The Congress MPs, instead of acting responsibly in the Parliament and in raising public issues, are participating in the by-election campaigns to strengthen the party, she said.

She also took serious note on the Chief Minister and other officials for not being available to discuss drinking water problem in the State. She alleged that the government has no commitment to resolve public issues.
