Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly Speaker Thammineni Seetharam was angry when mediapersons here sought his reaction on May 21 (Sunday), on the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) issuing notices to YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) Kadapa Member of Parliament Y.S. Avinash Reddy in the murder case of former MP Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy.
Mr. Seetharam, who had come to Srisailam for darshan of the presiding deities Goddess Bhramaramba and Lord Mallikarjuna Swamy, sneeringly told the media outside the temple complex that “if Mr. Avinash flees, the CBI will take care of it. Why should you or I be bothered about it.”
“The Kadapa MP’s role in the murder case will be probed by the CBI. Should everything be told to the media? Are you the CBI chief or what?” Mr. Seetharam quipped.
