TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu here on Friday said that his family did not have any history of resorting to ‘murders for political gain’, while alleging the role of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy in the murder of his uncle Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy.
Speaking at a public meeting, Mr. Naidu alleged that Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy had been striving to save his brother in the murder case of Vivekananda Reddy. “Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s government has even registered an attempt to murder case on me in some other instance. I have never adopted ‘murder for gain’ policy during my entire political journey,” he said.
“Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy has never fought with the Centre on the Special Category Status (SCS) for Andhra Pradesh, and the Polavaram irrigation project or against the privatisation of the Visakhapatnam steel plant. The four-and-a-half year rule of Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy will be the darkest period for Andhra Pradesh,” said the TDP chief.
