Congress compares Jagan with Veerapan

Pradesh Congress Committee official spokesman B Kamalakara Rao on Thursday alleged that YSR Congress president Jagan Mohan Reddy was a bigger criminal than notorious smuggler Veerappan.

Talking to media persons at Gandhi Bhavan, Kamalakara Rao said that Jagan Mohan Reddy’s illegal business activities have crossed the borders of several countries while smuggler Veerappan's smuggling of red sandalwood was confined to three states. He alleged that Jagan has been using the same criminal tactics in the politics which he used to extend his illegal business.

Kamalakar Reddy said that Jagan Mohan Reddy has written a letter that he did not want an interim bail to get sympathy of the people in the by-elections. Accusing Sakshi newspaper of being a mouth piece of Jaganmohan Reddy, he demanded that the Election Commission take stern action against the publication.

PCC Secretary Niranjan said that the Election Commission should act against Sakshi newspaper to restore people's confidence. He said that the failure of EC to act against Sakshi newspaper was giving room for suspicion.
