Describing Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy as the “mastermind of vendetta politics in Andhra Pradesh”, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State vice-president P. Vishnu Kumar Raju accused the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) of trying to silence the Opposition by “misusing the police and enforcement agencies”. “Had he (Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy) used his intelligence for the development of Andhra Pradesh, it would have been a top State in the country. The State is now reeling under debt burden and other troubles, thanks to the misplaced priorities of the Chief Minister,” the BJP leader told the media here on October 11 (Wednesday).

Referring to the arrest of TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu in the skill development scam case, the BJP leader said that it was a part of Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s plan that Mr. Naidu and TDP national general secretary N. Lokesh remained in jail ahead of the Assembly elections so that the YSRCP came to power again.
“I have faith in the law. Hopefully, Mr. Naidu will be released from jail shortly,” said Mr. Vishnu Kumar Raju.
He reiterated that neither the Central government agency nor the BJP had any role in the arrest of Mr. Naidu.
“During a recent meeting with his party leaders in Vijayawada, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy claimed that he was unaware of Mr. Naidu’s arrest as it happened when he was in London. Everyone is aware that the former Chief Minister was arrested as a part of political vendetta,” he said.
