State Minister Kollu Ravindra has strongly criticized Jagan's political policy of distorting facts and using them for political purposes. Speaking at a media conference at the Telugu Desam Party central office in Mangalagiri on Sunday, he said that Jagan is blaming others to divert public attention from the financial crime cases against him. He criticized that he is misleading people with false articles and cartoons in his magazine. He alleged that it has become a habit for Jagan to blame others and that he is giving political color to the investigation by investigative agencies.
The minister recalled that in 2011, during the Congress regime, the CBI registered cases on allegations that Jagan had committed corruption worth about Rs. 48 thousand crores by obstructing the power of his father YS Rajasekhara Reddy . "The main allegation is that they created shell companies, artificially inflated the value of the companies' shares and committed money laundering. Jagan is now going through all sorts of trouble to escape these cases," Ravindra explained.
From Viveka's murder to the ED investigation,
Kollu Ravindra alleged that Jagan played political dramas in the murder case of his uncle YS Vivekananda Reddy. "At that time, he wrote articles in Sakshi magazine, blaming Chandrababu Naidu and calling it 'Narasura Rakta Charitra'. But, didn't the truth come to light with the legal battle of his younger sister Sunitha and the investigation lead to Tadepalli Palace?" he questioned Jagan. As the ED investigation is currently accelerating, Jagan is being criticized for delaying the process by filing more than 4,000 discharge petitions to stop it.
'Witness' of lies.. Misinformation against investigative agencies
Kollu Ravindra commented that Sakshi magazine, which was established with corrupt money, is only a witness in name, and it has become a mirror for lies. He clarified that ED is an independent investigative agency under the Union Finance Ministry and the state government has no connection with it. "While the investigation is being expedited, people are being misled with cartoons and articles in Sakshi, branding it as a political partisanship. This is damaging the morale of the investigative agencies," he said. The minister reminded that the Supreme Court itself has said
that economic crimes are like cancer to society
. Economic crimes are like cancer to the country's economy and society. "If there is money, can cases be dragged out for years? Can the investigation be delayed without appearing for court adjournments? This is a mockery of the judiciary," Ravindra fumed. He criticized Jagan for being the reason behind the inclusion of Kannadathandri YS Rajasekhara Reddy's name as A5 in the cases for his own selfish interests, calling it shameful. He alleged that Jagan has not changed even after 16 months in jail and is still inciting the youth by saying 'Rappa Rappa'.
He warned that those who have done wrong will never escape the law and that even if there is some delay in the investigation, they will definitely be punished. He urged the investigating agencies and courts to expedite the investigation of cases and put the facts before the public. Kollu Ravindra made it clear that Jagan will not escape the law no matter how many gimmicks he makes.
