CM should reveal truths in Viveka murder case, says TD leader

VIJAYAWADA: Telugu Desam politburo member, Varla Ramaiah, said on Friday that he suspected a deep-rooted conspiracy behind the murder of Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy, the paternal uncle of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.

"How long can Jagan Mohan Reddy remain silent on the petition filed by the CBI before the high court," he asked and alleged that the CM has been uttering blatant lies on this issue. “Jagan Mohan Reddy has a responsibility to tell the public the facts that he’s aware of about the murder of his uncle.”

Ramaiah said there were reports that those who killed Vivekananda were close associates of Jagan Mohan Reddy and that the CM was going all out to defend those associates. The CBI, in its petition filed before the High Court on May 26, 2023, made it clear that Jagan was well aware of the murder plan much before it took place, he said.

The TD leader recalled that the CBI had also stated that a deep-rooted conspiracy led to the killing. The five crore Andhras are keenly awaiting the outcome of the investigation to know who did it. All the fingers are pointing towards Jagan Mohan Reddy and his wife. "At least now, open your mouth and set an example for the future generations,"  the TD leader urged Jagan Mohan Reddy.
