Jagan has surrendered before the Cong

Fearing arrest in the disproportionate assets case being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation, YSR Congress party president Ys Jagan Mohan Reddy has surrendered himself before the Congress party. This was alleged by Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu while addressing a press conference at his residence here on Friday.

Naidu said Jagan’s surrender before the Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh clearly indicates his helplessness to come out clean from CBI cases on his disproportionate assets. He said during his meeting, Jagan appealed to the Prime Minister to protect his properties and to save his family members from the CBI raids. He claimed that Praja Rajyam party chief K Chiranjeevi too surrendered before the Congress and finally got merged into that party.

Responding to media reports that his daughter-in-law Brahmini having villas in Emaar Properties, Naidu said He said the villa was given by brother-in-law and actor Balakrishna to his daughter before her marriage. He said the family members would cooperate with the CBI probe in this connection. He requested the media not to politicize the issue.

Stating that many developmental projects initiated during his tenure were misused by the Congress and corruption ruled the roost in all schemes including Emaar Properties, MGF and APIIC. Slamming the Congress for slashing mud on the TDP, Naidu said that he was ready for any kind probe or discussion on development schemes taken up during his tenure.

Stating that corruption can be rooted out only by introducing reforms in all sectors only, Naidu said his party would continue to fight against corruption at levels.
