Agriculture Minister Kanna Lakshminarayana on Sunday expressed confidence that former Excise and Prohibition Minister Mopidevi Venkataramana Rao, who was arrested by the CBI in connection with disproportionate assets case against YSR Congress party president Jaganmohan Reddy, would come out clean from the allegations soon.
Talking to media persons while taking part in a programme at Repalle in Guntur district, Kanna Lakshminarayana appealed to the party cadre not to lose their confidence in view of Mopidevi ‘s arrest. He said that the former Excise Minister would come out clean from the baseless charges leveled by the CBI against him.
Describing former chief minister Y S Rajasekhar Reddy as an asset of the Congress party despite his sudden demise, he said that the Ministers were in no way connected to the corruption of Jaganmohan Reddy. He alleged that Jagan misused the official position of YSR and accumulated thousands of crores assets illegally. (INN)
