Chiru predicts Jagan's arrest

Rajya Sabha Member K Chiranjeevi on Thursday predicted that YSR Congress president and Kadapa MP Jagan Mohan Reddy would be arrested soon. 

Addressing an election rally at Kavali in Nellore district, Chiranjeevi said that the CBI would arrest Jagan for looting the State indiscriminately and resorting to illegal methods to accumulate properties. He said that those having links with criminals and misusing public funds have no moral right to seek votes of the people in the ensuing by-elections. 

Chiranjeevi also alerted the people to exercise their franchise judiciously in the by-elections and give priority for spotless persons. He criticised a the section of politicians for making industrialists scapegoats and pushing them behind the bars in connection with corruption cases. 

The Congress MP said that industrialists in the State were afraid of the CBI and going to other States in search of green pasture. He also came down heavily on some politicians who are slanging mud on others in order to get mileage in the elections.
