YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is feeling the heat of the CBI investigation. This is clear from the letter written by his mother YS Vijyamma to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
There is nothing new in the letter except a reiteration of the party’s stand on CBI inquiry but Jagan’s attempt seems to be to create a perception among the people that the investigation lacked credibility and was politically-motivated.
The lengthy letter, published in Sakshi on Tuesday, bemoans the ‘vengeful’ nature of the CBI inquiry and alleges that the family was being ‘hunted down’ at the instance of Delhi.
The CBI did not even mention the names of Ministers and other leaders of the government in the FIR while targeting Jagan who was never in the government, the letter said.
Vijayamma tried to argue that the CBI was only fabricating evidence against Jagan at the instance of Congress leadership. The agency was blackmailing witnesses to give evidence against Jagan. It was providing protection to those who were ‘singing’ to the tunes of CBI, such as Stylish Homes Ranga Rao.
The YSR Congress leader also brought in the by-now familiar equation with Chandrababu Naidu. She alleged that the TDP leader was responsible for Emaar scam but was let off by the CBI.
Claiming that the CBI was acting under their political bosses, Vijayamma in her letter appealed to PM, under whom the agency operates, to mend the ways of the CBI and ensure that its investigation was impartial.
