Kakinada, October 10: Telugu Desam Party president Chandrababu Naidu on Saturday alleged that the family of former chief minister late YS Rajasekhara Reddy were shareholders in the Vedanta Mines.
Speaking to media persons before participating in a Mahadharna in front of Kakinada Collectorate to protest against the permissions given to liquor barons to set up outlets, Mr Naidu further alleged that the late YSR had started a newspaper and television channel since he needed media support.
Mr Naidu alleged that these media houses owned by YSR’s family were disseminating propaganda in favour of the family. The TDP chief alleged that the people were being cheated through this ‘false information.’
The former chief minister also criticized the installation of YSR statues across the state. He said, “soon enough, there will be more statues of YSR than of Mahatma Gandhi.”
