Hyderabad, May 16: Congress senior leader V Hanumanta Rao has expressed fury over Jagan’s remarks that Sonia was arrogant and people of Kadapa have dealt her a slap through the Kadapa by-elections. “Not Jagan alone. We also have valor. Hot blood and courage is flowing through our nerves. We as Congress workers will teach Jagan a befitting lesson. We will not keep quite if he abuses Sonia,” he warned.
VH has reiterated his oft repeated rhetoric that YSR and his son Jagan have plundered the state. Alleging that Jagan was shedding crocodile tears towards the problems of the farmers, he said it was the YSR family which had the dubious distinction of snatching away valuable lands of poor farmers and doling them away to rich corporates. He said the YSR family received massive kickbacks for doing injustice to the farmers. It was ridiculous that Jagan who grew financially and politically by ditching the farmers, was now fasting for their welfare, he added.
Hanumantha Rao has counseled Jagan to remember that it was on the direction of Sonia Gandhi that YSR had introduced welfare programmes for the farmers. He has charged YSR of swindling thousands of crores in the name of projects and giving the ill-gotten wealth to Jagan.
Stating that all the properties of Jagan were earned through dubious means, he said Jagan should explain how his property which was mere lakhs of rupees has now shot up to thousands of crores. He said he would ensure that investigation was ordered into Jagan’s properties.
