Conspiracy of vested interests, says YSRCP

Hyderabad,
July 10, 2013: Condemning the reports that the main accused in the bank heist
and murder belongs to the Party, YSR Congress has said that it is part of the
conspiracy of vested interests and TDP to defame YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and his
Party.

Addressing separate press conferences at Allagadda,
Guntur and here on Wednesday, the party leaders
said that a section of media and TDP are trying to connect a stray incident in
East Godavari district with YSRCP as they are afraid of
the growing popularity of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.

Party Deputy Floor leader Sobha Nagi Reddy,
spokesperson Ambati Rambabu and former MLA Jogi Ramesh condemned the reports
that appeared in a section of press trying to link the offence with the Party
and said this is a conspiracy to tarnish the image of the Party which is far
ahead of others in public choice.

 “The main accused Sridhar Reddy has nothing
to do with the Party and the reports that he is financing padayatra are totally
wrong and the willful campaign of vested interests,” they said.

Sridhar Reddy is nobody and even does not have
party membership. If he has done something wrong, he is accountable to it and
the Party cannot be blamed for it. The same is the case with the Narsipatnam
women, who has been circulating fake currency notes.

Trying to blow up such incidents that are totally
unconnected with our Party, only shows that they are scarred of our party while
panchayat polls are on hand.

Congress and TDP leaders criticising YSRCP on the
incident is ridiculous. The two parties have leaders who are charged with
offences like rape, selling of diesel from official vehicles and the like, they
said.

N Chandrababu Naidu was seen with inter-state
criminal gang and he also has the history of patronising a conman like Kola
Krishna Mohan and his own cabinet colleague Krishna Yadav has been involved in
the fake stamp paper scam.

TDP has even accepted donation from Kola Krishna
Mohan and offered him Machilipatnam seat. When the scam came out TDP has
returned the donation taken by cheque and deposited in the court.

Whenever, by-elections are held, huge amounts are
recovered from TDP leaders trying to transport the funds, they said.

TDP leaders have been blowing the issue out of
proportion and trying to make an issue out of a non-issue. Thousands of people
throng the padayatra as the popularity of Sharmila and the Party is on the rise
and if some people try to take advantage of it, the Party has nothing to do
with it, they said

“We are a Party that is on the rise, we do not
encourage such people. Even if some of the people holding our Party flag commit
such offences, we will reject them from the party,” they said.

In reality, the vested interests and our political
adversaries are making every effort to link our Party with such scandals. We
are alert and will thwart all their efforts. We do not encourage such elements
and will screen them, they said.
