Ongole (AP), September 19: Congress MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy tonight alleged that there is an attempt to defame his late father Y S Rajasekhara Reddy.
“Our beloved leader Rajasekhara Reddy has occupied a permanent place in the hearts of the people with his welfare schemes. But, even after about 13 months after his death, there is an attempt to defame him. How can a dead person defend himself? If they are trying to defame a dead man, it shows the fall in political standards,” he said.
He was addressing a gathering at Addanki in Prakasam district during his ongoing Oradpuyatra.
Jagan was referring to allegations of massive corruption and misuse of power made by TDP and other parties when Rajasekhar Reddy was in power.
