Like in the 2019 elections, the murder of former Minister Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy has once again become a contentious poll issue ahead of the 2024 general elections with none other than Chief Minister and YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy accusing the opposition parties of a role in the murder case.
Kick-starting his State-wide poll campaign, ‘Memantha Siddham’, after praying at the YSR Samadhi and taking the blessings of his mother Vijayamma at Idupulapaya here on March 27 (Wednesday), Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy went hammer and tongs against Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu and his “affiliated media houses,” accusing them of shielding the culprits involved in the murder case.
Referring to his slain paternal uncle as “Vivekam chinnanna,” Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy attempted to strike a chord with the voters by recalling their association with the former Member of Parliament from Kadapa.
