Telugu Desam Party president N. Chandrababu Naidu, in a direct attack on Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, alleged that the latter used the Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy murder case and Kodi Kathi case as a weapon to gain sympathy during the 2019 general elections.
He addressed a public meeting as part of Idem Kharma at Amaravathi village in Pedakurapadu Assembly Constituency in Palnadu district on Tuesday, after concluding a road show for more than three hours which attracted large number of people.
Mr. Naidu said, “Those who killed their uncle, levelled allegations on me, spread false propaganda in their own media. But, the CBI investigation and the arguments in the courts are revealing the facts. Is it not unfair on the part of Mr. Jagan Reddy? Similarly, Mr. Jagan made a Kodi Kathi drama to gain sympathy and made allegations against me. But, the NIA investigation clearly exposed that the accused involved in the crime belonged to the YSRCP, not the TDP. In addition to that, Mr. Jagan accused me in Pink Diamond theft from the holy TTD temple. Reacting on it, I filed a defamation case for ₹100 crore, but after becoming Chief Minister, Mr. Jagan withdrew the case in the court. Hence, I again filed a private case in the court against the YSRCP and Mr. Jagan.”
