Pulivendula MLA YS Vijayamma condemned the arrest of her son and Kadapa MP YS Jagan Mohan Reddy by the CBI in the disproportionate assets case.
Talking to reporters after Jagan’s arrest at Dilkusha Guest House, Vijayamma blamed the Congress party for the entire episode and alleged that Jagan was wrongly framed in the case. “What was my son’s fault? Has he committed a sin by taking out taking Odarpu Yatra?” she asked the Congress High Command.
Vijayamma said that Jagan’s Odarpu Yatra and the public response and support that he got in those yatra provoked the Congress party to act against him. “My husband wanted Rahul Gandhi to become Prime Minister after 2014 elections. If Sonia Gandhi’s son could become the Prime Minister, then was wrong if YSR’s son wants to become the Chief Minister?” she asked.
She also raised suspicion over the reasons that led to the death of former Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy. It may be mentioned that YSR was killed in a helicopter crash in September 2009. She asked the Central and State Governments to clarify as to what they propose to do with Jagan.
Later, she staged a dharna in front of Dilkusha Guest House in protest against Jagan’s arrest. (INN)
