Upset with the manner in which the police are investigating the fake land deed racket in Ongole, senior YSR Congress Party leader and former Minister Balineni Srinivasa Reddy, on Thursday, sought the intervention of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy in the issue.
The Ongole MLA, who had one round of talks with the Chief Minister’s Additional Secretary K. Dhanjaya Reddy recently, called on the Chief Minister and urged him to look into the conduct of the probe by the police, putting him and the ruling party in Prakasam district in a piquant situation, according to sources close to Mr. Srinivasa Reddy. Earlier, he had pressed for the withdrawal of gunmen allocated to him, upset with the ‘‘biased’‘ probe.
