Ambati doubts credibility of KVP's book on YSR

The Ysr Congress Party on Saturday suspected the genuinuity of contents in the KVP Ramchander Rao's book on the padyatra of former Chief Minister

Speaking to media here, YSRCP spokesman Ambati Rambabu said neither he nor any of the close circle of YSR had an idea of the existence of any diary which was suddenly released amidst much fanfare. “I had very closely followed YSR during his 1600 km padayatra and never did I nor any one in the close circles of YSR did hear that that he was writing a diary. The talk did not come up while he was in Leader of Opposition nor did it come up when he was chief Minister for five years and three months.”

"Suddenly the diary comes up as if from nowhere and the who-is-who of Congress attend the book release function and heap praises on YSR and describes him as a model Congress chief minister. Ironically, the very same senior leaders were mum and did not open their mouth when YSR was named in the charge-sheet by CBI," Ambati said while adding that this exposes the raw opportunism of Congress.

“All this shows that Congress wants to own YSR and his policies and at the same time distance itself from the 26 GOs and show YS Jagan Mohan Reddy in bad light. This is simply not possible and people gave their verdict earlier and such theatrics of diaries and senior leaders trying to own YSR up will not cut any ice,” he said.
