Jagan’s wife Bharati was allowed to meet her husband during lunch hour. She was with him during the one-hour break he was given by the CBI authorities. Soon after the break, Jagan had to retreat into the questioning room, while Bharati had returned home. Bharati has been looking after the business activities of Jagan, including running of the Sakshi newspaper while Jagan’s mother Vijayamma and sister Sharmila are campaigning for the party.
Bharati has shown shrewdness as a business woman, say sources. It is learnt that soon after taking over, Bharati has checked the employees’ list of Sakshi and found that several superannuated workers were still working as Jagan could not concentrate on these matters. She retired several people, who had reached age of superannuation, say sources. (NSS)
