Hyderabad, August 12: The war of words between loyalists of Congress’ Kadapa MP Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy and the party leadership intensified today with his supporters dismissing allegations of a scam in a state-owned corporation during Y S Rajasekhara Reddy’s regime.
Responding to the allegations made by senior Congress MLAs who are known to be opposed to Rajasekhara Reddy, two party legislators claimed the allegations are being made only to gain some positions of power.
“They are making the allegations only because they did not get any position of power in 2004 and 2009 (when Rajasekhara Reddy was Chief Minister). They want to get close to the leadership by making such allegations,” MLAs N Adinarayana Reddy and K Srikant Reddy, who are close to Jagan, told reporters.
