Vijayawada: Attorney General KK Venugopal has declined to reconsider his refusal to initiate contempt proceedings against AP Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy for a second time regarding his allegations against a Supreme Court judge.

On October 6, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy had written to Chief Justice of India SA Bobde about Justice NV Ramana, a senior judge of the Supreme Court, claiming that he was working against the elected government of the state after his orders to expedite pending prosecution against legislators from the Chief Minister’s YSR Congress.

AP CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy claimed that the senior judge was acting on behalf of his opposition, former Chief Minister Chandra babu Naidu’s Telugu Desam Party. He also accused Justice Ramana of colluding with High Court judges and said they were acting at his behest.
