Jagan using people's sympathy to come to power: Actor couple

Actor Dr Rajasekhar and his actress wife Jeevitha on Friday alleged that YSR Congress party president YS Jaganmohan Reddy wants to come to power in the state by using the sympathy among the people following the death of his father YS Rajasekhara Reddy.

Talking to media persons at their residence in Jubilee Hills, the couple said Mr Jaganmohan Reddy had been dreaming of becoming the Chief Minister using the sympathy generated by his father’s tragic demise.

The couple alleged that Mr Jaganmohan Reddy had established his party only with an intention to become the Chief Minister. “Disgruntled at not getting his desire fulfilled, he was targeting Congress party by alleging that the government has failed in implementing his father’s welfare schemes and programmes,” the couple said.

“If Mr Jaganmohan Reddy was right to part ways with the Congress, what was his uncle Y S Vivekananda Reddy doing in the same party,” they questioned.

Reacting on the allegations leveled against them by some Praja Rajyam Party leaders, the couple said that “it is futile to hit a dead snake. The PRP is as good as vanished.”

Mr Chiranjeevi has announced the merger of his party as he was unable to manage its affairs due to lack of political experience, the couple said.
