Vijayawada: TDP is making baseless allegations against Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s family over the murder of former Minister YS Vivekananda Reddy, said YSRCP General Secretary Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy.

Speaking to the media persons on Tuesday, he described YS Vivekananda’s daughter Dr Sunita and her husband Rajasekhar Reddy have become characters in the grand drama scripted and directed by TDP Chief N Chandrababu Naidu. He alleged that unable to face Jagan Mohan Reddy politically, Chandrababu was conspiring by misleading CBI investigation of Vivekananda Reddy case for the past three years and using Sunita to divert the entire probe by offering her an MLA ticket in the coming elections.

Sajjala opined that this was an internal matter of the family members, but vested interests were trying to derive political mileage out of this and defame the Chief Minister with false allegations. Sajjala demanded CBI for a fair and impartial probe instead of diverting the case for political gains. He stated that the CBI was trying to establish Avinash Reddy as the accused without looking into the prime suspects or conducting a proper investigation. From the beginning, the TDP, using a section of the media, has been plotting against Jagan.

Unfortunately, even the CBI seems to have become a pawn in the game being played by Naidu. Today they are resorting to character assassination. It is unfortunate that Vivekananda Reddy’s daughter Sunita has become a pawn in the game plan of the TDP. No one knows what she has said in her testimony, but an elaborate presentation of what she has supposedly said is being made and several of the claims in those articles are questionable, he said. Sajjala appealed to the people not to believe such politically-motivated allegations.
