Who are you to pass judgments on Jagan?

Mylavaram, April 15, 2013: In a spirited attack on Finance Minister Anam Ramnarayana Reddy and PCC chief Botcha Satyanarayana who supported the former’s vitriolic outburst against the YSR family, Smt. Y.S. Sharmila asked them how they could brand YSRCP chief Sri Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy as criminal when no court has found him guilty.

Addressing a huge public meeting at Mylavaram in Krishna District during the course of her Maro Praja Prasthanam on Sunday, she questioned the logic behind the Congress leaders’ argument that the Ministers had not committed any crime in issuing 26 GOs during the YSR regime.

“If the GOs were in order as per your argument, why did you send Sri Jagan Mohan Reddy to jail? In case the GOs were faulty, why didn’t the concerned ministers go to jail?” she asked them.

She said Sri Jagan Mohan Reddy is only on judicial remand and no court has convicted him or found him guilty. “In such circumstances, who are you to pass judgments on him?” She asked Minister Anam Ramnarayana Reddy.

Seeking an explanation from Anam and other ministers on why they were silent during the YSR regime if he had really committed a mistake, she said the very Congress leaders who kept silent when YSR’s name was included in the FIR against Sri Jagan Mohan Reddy are now objecting to the inclusion of some ministers’ names in the charge sheets.

“It only exposed their double standards and the conspiracy hatched against Sri Jagan Mohan Reddy,” she said.
